EYB Comments
Correction from the book's website: "Step 2 should end “until soft peaks form.” Step 3 should read, “As soon as the sugar syrup reaches 238 degrees F, immediately pour it into a heat-proof measurer. Pour a few tablespoons into the whites, away from the whisk, so the hot syrup doesn’t splash, and whisk on medium speed for a few seconds. Be careful as the syrup is very hot. Pour in a little more syrup and whisk for a few seconds, until incorporated. Repeat until all the syrup has been added. Raise the speed to high and continue to whisk until the mixture cools to room temperature, 70 to 75 degrees F, 5 to 10 minutes." Also, “Throughout this book, there are inconsistencies in the weight of flour and sugar measurements. Please apply the following measurements: 1 cup of all-purpose flour is equal to 5 ounces. 1 cup of granulated sugar is equal to 7 ounces.”
Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?
Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.
