When replacing the lid do half a turn anti-clockwise before doing up clockwise.

Place a sauce pan half to 3/4 full of water on heat until small bubbles are floating to the surface. adjust heat until small bubbles are constant. Crack a fresh egg into a small cup then tip the egg into the sauce pan with the cup near the surface. Then spoon out when done

Separate the eggs into yolks and whites, beat the yolks with the sugar and butter till its nearly white and separately, whisk the whites into soft peaks then fold the egg whites in after you've sifted in the flour. Dead fluffy sponge

Leave them in for no more than 30 secs.

Take them out again and put them down for about 20 or 30 secs until you can just pick them up without burning yourself.

Crack them into the water.

When the toast pops up, they’re ready.

You can make a really light fluffy sponge without using fat at all, with the same method mentioned. Just whip the eggs up with the sugar then slowly fold in the flour, leaving out the butter altogether. SO light and delicious.

Add some vinegar to the water, and stir it to create a slight whirlpooly thing to drop the egg into. Vinegar slows the egg white congealing as it disperses, and the circle movement keeps it centred. Or use an egg poaching tray in the microwave like me

Should really start an egg poaching thread

Loads of variations. I did that one for a while. Still didn’t quite work as well as I’d hoped. Concluded that it came down to the freshness of the eggs. Can now do it pretty consistently.
