The link is no good and I can't find any info on this at all so I don't know what the proportion changes would be.

One person can add the hot sugar syrup very slowly and carefully without letting the syrup touch the whisk or the sides of the bowl - in a stream directly on to the meringue. The other person using the hand mixer needs to work at a medium-low speed while Corryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01705159900202562997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031813939215572717.post-57007650755689297122013-08-04T01:40:06.605+10:002013-08-04T01:40:06.605+10:00Hi,

I've done two batches so far but I can't stop it from party seizing (I'm using a hand mixer with a stainless steel bowl). How do you usually balance the pouring and mixing? <br /><br />Thanks for all the helpful tutorials Sarsie Choohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06009190714452613484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031813939215572717.post-44482850258172530562013-03-09T13:55:47.881+11:002013-03-09T13:55:47.881+11:00Hey Corry!
