The trick is to whip egg white along with cream of tartar until it rises up to the brim of your saucepan. In another bowl beat the egg yolks and salt until they turn thick and lemon coloured. Gently, fold the yolks into the whites. Now, heat a dollop of butter on a saucepan and pour the mixture on it and cook on medium flame and witness the fluff it becomes in no time. Do not flip the omelette and let it cook on just one side; it will eventually be cooked on the other side. Now bake the omelette for about 10 to 12 minutes. To see if the omelette is completely cooked from the inside, just insert a knife to check if it's cooked completely.Till you try your hand at making one yourself, enjoy the visual treat of these fluffy omelettes being made here:
