I’ve got no stand mixer, and a broken hand mixer. I did this by hand the whole time and it’s totally possible, just maybe skip arm day 🙂

Hello Ann. I love your videos, and even though I’m only twelve, You’ve inspired me to take up baking as a hobby. For my younger brother’s i am planning to make a cake inspired from a video game he really likes. I would like to know if it’s possible for me to do these unflavored? Thank you very much 🙂

hi Ann, I was try to make your lime meringue recipe but somehow when I baked it, after an hour it start to melt and flat like this, I don’t know the reason why. I reduce the amount of sugar in your recipe into 3 tbsp because I don’t like too sweet and other than that It exactly the same
hope you see my comment soonAlinaAugust 9, 2021, 2:37 amReply
Hmm, I’m not Ann but maybe you didn’t whisk enough air into it and it deflated? Idk, just a theory lol

Hi! I’m super new to baking, and this seems to be about my speed, lol.
I’m wondering, with the flavoured meringues, is the amount of flavouring added the amount you would add to a full batch, or is it meant for 1/4 of the batch once you divvy up the batter? Sorry if this was mentioned and I missed it. Thanks!PetraOctober 11, 2022, 7:07 amReply
Hey, I was wondering the same thing, did you figure it out?
kirakiraFebruary 26, 2023, 6:10 amReply
i watched the video, and it seems to be for 1/4 of the batter. even though this reply is 3 years later i hope it helps.

I used lemon instead of lime. They taste WONDERFUL with the raspberry! Just like pink lemonade!!!
AnnApril 10, 2019, 9:16 pmReply
awesome idea to combine flavours – were they in the one meringue or did you just eat them together?
MaggieDecember 28, 2018, 2:46 pmReply
I tried a batch of the raspberry ones to give away as treats, but they wouldn’t bake — even after 4 hours at 215 degrees F. I then raised the temperature to 250 F for another 2 hours and not only are they still not coming off the parchment paper, they taste burnt. Any idea of what went wrong?
AnaOctober 16, 2018, 12:22 pmReply
Hi Ann,
Can I use egg whites from a carton?
I love your videos! 🙂
Admin HowToCookThatNovember 2, 2018, 12:30 pmReply
Hi Ana, No those will be pasteurised egg whites and they wont work with this recipe.
CookieJuly 22, 2018, 3:17 amReply
Hi Ann,
I tried to make the lime meringues and it did not turn out well. When i put them in the oven they looked fine then after 35 mins they started turning brown. After the 2 hours I took them out and let them cool and I tried one and it tasted burnt and also the lime tasted so sour, but I put one tablespoon of the lime juice. How do I fix it?Admin HowToCookThatAugust 2, 2018, 12:11 pmReply
Hi Cookie, They sound overcooked. Reduce your oven temperature and if the lime taste was too strong then use about half the quantity next time.
HabibaJune 24, 2018, 6:24 amReply
Hi Ann,
I tried to make the batch but it was small but it still worked so I wanted to add melted chocolate to it but it started to become a liquid mixture so what shall I do?Admin HowToCookThatJuly 6, 2018, 2:51 pmReply
Hi Habiba, you cant add melted chcolate to these, it will cause the sugar to dissolve.
HiroMay 12, 2018, 3:12 pmReply
your recipe is not worthy to be used
Admin HowToCookThatMay 17, 2018, 2:36 pmReply
Well I love it Hiro. It works a treat for others and me too. I love making these as a gift for friends.

Hi Bo, There are so many recipes here – that would take a long time to make them all, do you have a favourite?

What brand and style is that mixer haven seen that before
Admin HowToCookThatFebruary 2, 2018, 10:13 pmReply
Hi Bonnie, This a Breville Stand mixer. It is an older model but there are some similar ones available in some countries called The Breville Bakery Boss.
E.N.D.November 14, 2017, 5:59 pmReply
I accidentally forgot to whip up the eggs until they were fluffy before adding the sugar, and now it just won’t whip up. Is there anything I can do to fix it?
Admin HowToCookThatNovember 16, 2017, 10:13 amReply
Hi E.N.D. , if you keep whipping you may get the sugar dissolve and the mix to whip up, but if you have already tried, then you will need to start over.
SamJanuary 4, 2018, 7:34 pmReply
Mine wouldnt fluff up either.. Add 1/8 tsp of cream of tartar and itll whip right up!
MiaSeptember 13, 2017, 9:51 amReply
