Can you mould meringues? These are the questions that continue me upwards at dark. Lets find out.
P.south Not ‘do meringues become mouldy?’
It is belike no surprise to yous at all, that the exclusively moulds I have inward my domicile are Christmas-themed:
I resisted the urge to make robins, trees as well as Santas, though, together with went amongst the star mould for my experiment. It is vital that the moulds y’all function are silicon – you require to be able to manoeuvre, re-form and draw away the moulds at the terminate. I whipped upward ane egg white together with 40g of warmed caster saccharide together with transferred this into a plastic sandwich handbag, cutting the corner to create a pipage purse:
…together with used this to make certain the meringue reached the corners of the mould too filled to the overstep:
I left the transcend unfinished, but you could over-fill the mould as well as then neatly scrape the top to
withdraw the excess with the flat of a knife to give a cleaner finish:
Once my moulds were filled, I popped into an oven at ninety degrees C for 2 hours:
….in addition to was pretty impressed when they came out inward ane piece too didn’t blow the oven upwards:
The meringues had risen inward the oven, but seemed to retain their cast.
After cooling I attempted to take the meringues, presuming they were welded to the moulds or would come out inwards broken pieces, but they were tougher than I idea and came free easily….
….as well as in 1 piece also.
I pulled the tops away from the meringue to start, moving downward the sides together with and then easing
the meringues out. This is why yous ask the mould to live silicon.
The meringues were squeamish as well as crisp, the bottoms together with sides a petty more crunchy as well as a few
that the saccharide had caramelised at the bottom:
So, if you’ve always wondered – yeah, you lot can mould meringues.
Have a slap-up weekend!
