2. Then carefully pour the milk into the bowl; it’s best if it’s at room temperature. Work the mixture with a fork. Don’t beat it—stir instead, and use a fork, not a whisk. That’s one of the secrets to making a true French omelet.

3. Heat a skillet on the stove. Melt a piece of butter in it. There are a couple of nuances here too. The skillet should have a thick bottom and be well heated, and the butter should melt, not boil and sizzle — otherwise your French omelet won't turn out fluffy.

5. Tilt the pan in a circular motion, as if you were making pancakes, so the mixture spreads evenly. When the omelet has set, lift it with a spatula so the runny part of the mixture flows underneath. Repeat this several times, and keep rocking the pan.
