Guest guest Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 Hello all, I tried to make meringues last night (used the recipe from scdrecipes.com), and have a few questions. 1. I had stiff peaks in my egg whites, but the honey took away their poof. Is there a trick to adding the honey and keeping the egg whites fluffy? I also ended up with a lot of honey on the bottom of the bowl. 2. How long does it take to dry the meringues out in the Excalibur dehydrator? I had them in at the highest temp for a couple hours, but they were still very sticky, and the honey looked like it had settled to the bottom. I didn't stick them in the oven because, of reasons I can't quite figure out, my parents got rid of our oven in favor of a rather small toaster oven. It would probably take days to dry out a gajillion tiny trays of meringues. Also, I added a dash of peppermint extract to the recipe, and yum! I always loved peppermint candies, so this will make a great substitute one I can figure out the nuances of making them. Thanks for your help!
