    Yup - sounds like the oil was too hot for too long.

    The oil was to hot and it flared up as grease/oil will when it is to hot...

    A helpful hint is...if the oil starts to smoking, it is fixing to flame up on you..

    Sandra, here's a good discussion of smoke and flash points for various oils:

    Either that, or, could you have accidentally gotten some oil onto the bottom of the pan somehow?

    Please be careful.

    You also mixed water in with the eggs instead of milk. LOLOL.

    I always do that - the water makes them bright yellow! The milk makes them pale.

    Tumeric can also be used to brighten the yellow; that herb tastes a bit peppery.
