What kind of tartar did you use for this recipe??
ReplyDeleteIt's Cream of Tartar. It's a white powder looking spice you can find on any spice aisle in any grocery store. I usually use McCormick Cream of Tartar. Hope you love them!!
DeleteThank you, trying these tonight!
DeleteLove all your recipes!
stevia packets or in the raw?
ReplyDeleteI've tried this recipe twice and both times it comes out very runny before baking...is this normal?? It still tastes ok...but the first time I didn't have the Tartar and it just baked as a flat blob and figured that's why so runny before baking... but still tasted good lol. This time I'm trying it with the tartar...and still very runny before baking. Is this normal? Or am I missing something?
ReplyDeleteSounds to me like you need to whip more! The fluff comes from air mixed into the egg. So if you have blobs you don't have enough air. If you're doing it by hand try using a mixer instead.
ReplyDeleteCan you use the liquid stevia or do you use the powder?
ReplyDeleteI used the egg whites that come in a carton and they are NOT fluffing at all, I have them mixing in a mixer and still liquid. What should I do?
ReplyDeleteDo NOT use the CARTON Egg Whites ... Per the FMD Cookbook, those are pasteurized, & that process kills the "fluff". I tried being "socially conscience" and NOT use ONLY the whites of dairy case whole eggs, but it doesn't work!! WASTE the yolks; Separate out the Whites; ENJOY the Goodies!!
Deletedont waste the yolks, dehydrate them in salt and use them in salads they are great.
DeleteI whipped my egg whites until stiff, then added the rest of ingredients, then whipped again and it got runnier and runnier..flop
ReplyDeleteOther recipes I've seen using this same technique.. you mix the Cream of Tartar and the powdered Stevia with the egg whites and whip like crazy, until stiff peaks form, then fold in the other flavors. Another recipe suggests using either cocoa, vanilla, lemon zest, or orange zest in addition or in place of the vanilla.
DeleteI'm pretty sure this recipe used powdered Stevia.. In the Raw isn't pure Stevia, it's part Dextrose*. Which is a corn derived simple sugar, almost identical to gluclose (blood sugar). This means there's a chance it'll cause you to stall weight loss. Liquid Stevia is condensed so you'd use less.
