I was told that meringues are easy to do. So I tried last night. And my egg whites were just frothy.....I got the firm peaks as mentioned by the recipe, but it said that the mixture would be shiny but mine was dull and frothy.

So I gave up ...I didnt even bake the thing! steups...

Has anyone done meringues before?? I followed the instructions to a T....but I failed! :(

Any advice is greatly appreciated...thanks :)

[travelbug]

Jenny, as far as meringues go, you beat/whip them until white with stiff peaks. I saw a new way of doing it the other day, you add the sugar before whipping rather than after. Also try making figure 8's with your hand mixer or if you have one that does it for you, it should work.

Good luck!

well i just bought a new mixer....I usually use my food processor with the mixing blade attachment...so I blamed the machine and got a new hand mixer. The mixer got good reviews so Im picking it up after work.

Typical me...blame the machine not the user! Thanks for the figure 8 tip though!
