My oven is not terribly reliable which might have had an impact on the first batch but I think the second never had enough air to start with.Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-13317338448460729272015-11-28T22:50:31.528+11:002015-11-28T22:50:31.528+11:00Thanks Cakelaw - they reminded me of brandy snapsThanks Cakelaw - they reminded me of brandy snapsJohanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-65368207287323362192015-11-28T22:50:08.740+11:002015-11-28T22:50:08.740+11:00Thanks Lisa - if only there were successes hidden ...Thanks Lisa - if only there were successes hidden somewhere :-) Experiments with aquafaba are such fun.
