Does that not mean that the eggs are off?

foxinsocks · 06/10/2009 19:51

how can it not whip? have you added enough sugar? have you got an electric whip and can bribe a child to hold it in there for like 30 mins?

AvengingGerbil · 06/10/2009 19:51

Try this: get an absolutely clean bowl and tip it in and try whipping again. It can work.

add the yolks, plus flour and marge and make a sponge?

cremolatorium · 06/10/2009 19:54

bowl spotless and made of copper
eggs( maybe a bit old) but not orf
plenty of sugar for weight of egg.

I'd say it was the eggs.

cremolatorium · 06/10/2009 19:58

if the eggs are iffy, I'd chuck it and feel pleased you've saved yourself from runny bum

BoysAreLikeDogs · 06/10/2009 20:06

is it glossy but runny?

I would be tempted to pipe into rosettes and cook any way

if they come out utterly disastrous then bash up and make eton mess

ta-dahhh

Did anyone see that Come Dine With Me in which one of the contestants tried FIVE times to make a pavlova? Twas v funny.

cremolatorium · 06/10/2009 22:50

didn't see that one , but i love come whine with me. the voice over is hilarious.
just in case anyone had Edwinaesque concerns -the mix is in the compost.

i was hoping for a nigel slater blackberry and pistachio eton mess extravaganza.
never mind....
