I tried Martha Stewart's favorite way to make scrambled eggs.
Stewart said using clarified butter makes "the best scrambled eggs in the whole world."

When it comes to scrambled eggs, Martha Stewart has never led me astray.

I got to interview Stewart in March 2020, learning everything from how to whip up the perfect rice to the best dish Snoop Dogg taught her how to make.

But Stewart's best tip was also her most surprising. I was shocked when she revealed that she often makes scrambled eggs with the same machine that whips up her coffee.

I put Stewart's hack to the test and made some of the fluffiest eggs I've ever tasted. So when I heard she had a new favorite way to make the best scrambled eggs, I knew I had to try it.

You only need two ingredients to try Stewart's scrambled eggs hack.

Then, it was time to get clarifying.

Clarifying butter was super easy, although it took longer than I anticipated.

Once it was ready, I carefully transferred the clarified butter into a separate container.

But this wouldn't be a true experiment without a little comparison, so I made another pan of scrambled eggs without using clarified butter.

After warming the butter, I once again added some eggs to the pan.

When I compared the scrambled eggs side by side, the ones made with clarified butter were a little silkier and fluffier.

I tried the same doughnut at Dunkin', Krispy Kreme, and Tim Hortons. The best one came from a gas-station kiosk.
