Can you reduce sugar in meringue?
As you probably know, meringues are primarily two ingredients: egg whites and sugar. ... A typical pavlova recipe might have a ratio of 1/4 cup of sugar per egg white in the recipe. I found that I could cut the sugar in half with no noticeable impact on texture and taste.
Why are my eggs foaming?
It is because of the 'white' or albumen part of the egg, not the yolk. The yolk solidifies on heating and doesn't interact with other materials. The foaming is because of air being trapped inside thin films of solidifying albumen.
What does foamy eggs look like?
Foamy: The egg whites are still primarily liquid, with some bubbles that may cause the egg whites to look slightly opaque. Soft Peaks: The egg whites are now white, will hold their shape in the bowl, and will not slide out if the bowl is tipped sideways. ... The egg whites will become grainy, watery, and flat.
How do you beat eggs until foamy?
If your egg whites are chilled, let them stand for 30 minutes to warm. Or place the bowl of whites into a separate bowl of hot but not boiling water and stir for 1 to 2 minutes. If the recipe says beat whites until "foamy" or "frothy," beat them until they form a mass of tiny, clear bubbles. Click to see full answer.
What does stiff but not dry mean?
If the tip of the peak stands up straight and does not bend, your egg whites have reached the stiff peak stage. If the recipe calls for stiff but not dry peaks, inspect the surface of the egg whites in the bowl. The surface should still appear glossy.
How can you tell if meringues are stiff peaks?
Stiff Peak – Turn the whisk upside down, and those peaks hold proudly! They should point straight up without collapsing at all (or maybe a little bit just at the very tips). The mixture is thick and heavy.
What should meringue look like?
To test the consistency of your meringue, lift the beater out of the bowl. The peaks of the egg whites that rise as you lift should stand straight up (and the ones on the beaters should stick out, too). Also, the whites shouldn't slide if you tilt the bowl, and you shouldn't see any clear, watery egg at the bottom.
Why does my meringue shrink and weep?
Don't overbake your meringue! Overbaking causes the egg whites to shrink and squeeze out small droplets of moisture. Always make sure to check on your pie at the minimum baking time. Undissolved sugar in the egg whites can also cause weeping.
