meringue borscht

meringue borscht
Borscht is the most common soup in Western food. It is sweet, sour, delicious and appetizing. The home-made method is very simple. Coupled with a stack of crispy meringue, it is a perfect match. If you don't have an oven or don't buy meringue, a soup alone is a good choice this winter.

  • meringue borscht Make Tips

    I like the crispy taste of crispy skin very much. It is delicious dipped in borscht. It is troublesome to make it at home. Fortunately, I have a lazy way to buy ready-made ones and defrost them in advance. Make sure to keep the temperature above 200 degrees when baking the meringue so that the meringue can expand quickly. I only opened it to 180 degrees in front of me, but the temperature couldn't reach it, so the swelling effect was not ideal, which prolonged the baking time and caused the surface of the meringue to be too dark. Or put the bowl in the lower layer of the oven. The color will not be so fast. Accumulate experience for your reference only!
