honey frosting... any tips?

[Guest guest]

I've tried to beat egg whites until they are fluffy and I've never succeeded. I have a metal whisk attachment for my electric beater and I also have a hand whisk which is also metal. I can NEVER get these egg whites fluffy. I've tried them cold, at rom temp, and heated up to warm in the oven. They always beat and get fluffy but then stop and I have liquid on the bottom and fluffy foam on top. Weird. Tried it with boxed egg whites as well as fresh, no difference.I want to make some vanilla frosting for the whoopie pies I just made but my frosting is now a fruit dip -UC - 1 yearSCD - 3.5 months 100% strict and 4 months restricted diet.Asacol - 4 pills 3 times a day - hopefully scd will help me get off these!

They won't whip if you get water in them or even a bit of yolk.When you use the hand blender, you should move it around the whites, notjust leave it one place.

Whoopie! Try making the frosting out of Spectrum Organic Shortening, honey and

vanilla. It works great and tastes delicious. The whoopie pie recipe that I

gave a link to a while ago has that frosting recipe too.

BTW - it sounds like you're not beating the egg whites long enough. I use a

hand mixer on high and it takes several minutes to get them right.

Good luck!
