Meringues
Meringues
My Newly Discovered Fix
I was invited to a dinner the other day and volunteered to bring dessert. I chose Meringue Chantilly (from Our {Modern} Family Table, page 56). I began by making the Meringue Nests. They looked great but I had to try one as sometimes the bases can be rubbery, which apparently some people like - but not me! Of course, they had rubbery bottoms. So I googled around for a reason/solution and came across this (from Ricardo):
"The next day, if the meringue is not completely dry, dry it again at the same temperature until crisp. "
What did I have to lose?? I popped them back in a 170 Degree F oven for just over one hour, then turned the oven off and left them in with the door slightly ajar for another hour. I removed them and sampled another one ... crispy all the way through. They were perfect (thank heavens as I was eating the dessert I was suppose to take to dinner)!
