Lighten Up In The Kitchen For A Fluffier Life

We’re whipping things up for some cloud-like drinks and dishes. From soufflés to fluffy pancakes, these melt-in-the-mouth recipes are guaranteed to leave you floating on air.

Let’s start with a classic omelette. To guarantee pillowy results, beat as much air into the mixture as possible before pouring it into a hot pan. Whisking the whites separately before folding them into lightly beaten yolks also works well.

This recipe uses cream of tartar for an even fluffier texture, while the secret to success with this cheese omelette is to pop it into a boiling hot oven for the final cook off to help it rise.

Another option for lighter than air eggs is the much Instagrammed cloud egg. With their meringue-style whites gently baked in the oven, eggs don’t come much fluffier than this.

This sweet or savoury weightless wonder-dish is made by adding whipped egg whites to base ingredients before being carefully baked. Soufflés strike fear at the heart of many a cook, but there are ways to ensure light and lofty results.

Use room temperature ingredients and beat the eggs whites to stiff peaks before gently folding into the mix. Butter or grease the mould to aid an easy rise and place in the hottest part of the oven. Make sure everyone’s ready at the table to witness the results!
