Lovely to see you both well 😘 Wondering how to convert this to ube sylvanas & if I could use buttercream without yolks 🤔 Stay well you two.. Winter had just set in down under ⛸️⛷️ a great time to work with egg whites with almost zero humidity👌

[@cookingwithkurt]

Hello! Great to hear from you again. I'd suggest making an Italian meringue buttercream (like in the Estrel's caramel cake video) instead for a buttercream without yolks. And just add about 2 tsp of ube extract to make it ube flavored. Hope this helps! :)

[@grandgala399]

@@cookingwithkurt thanks for this tip. BTW would this work with almonds too? I've got several unroasted flakes left from recent project. Thanks in advance. Always great to watch your tutorials 👌

Yes. These meringue wafers can be made with any nut, including almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, etc. They can even be made with toasted sunflower seeds for those who are allergic to nuts. Hope this helps!

[@herminiasmith1357]

Your directions are easy to follow. I love these Sylvanas and I'm going to check the Sans Rival video, which I believe should be promoted more as a quintessential Filipino dessert brought to the country by Filipino heroes who studied in Europe.---Do you have a cookbook I could buy.? And would you take an order of Sylvanas and Sans Rival? I live in the DC (DMV) area and would love to have these fabulous treats for a family gathering next month. Mabuhay and happy baking and cooking!!!

Do we store them in the freezer to maintain the texture?

[@cookingwithkurt]

The wafers will remain crunchy in the fridge for up to 1 week. I suggest storing in the freezer if keeping them for longer. Hope this helps! 😊

[@rosariomendoza1426]

Hello kurt and donald 👋i want to try, but is it ok if theres interval or continue for 3 hours

[@cookingwithkurt]

Hi Rosario - the baking time is only 1 hour, where the oven is on. The oven is off for the 3 hours (with door closed) so the meringue wafers dry out in residual heat. Hope this helps! :)

[@elonaherde4198]

Chef Kurt and Chef Donald Can I use Almond?

[@lorissabalandra142]

Hi Kurt. How can I do it by using Almond flour/meal? Thanks

[@cookingwithkurt]

Hi Lorissa - I haven't tried it personally, but I'd suggest using an equal amount of almond flour by weight (measurements in grams are provided in the description section below the video). Hope this helps :)

[@carmelaewan8049]

Hello, i have a really small oven, i can barely store 4 biscuits only, how can i store the meringue mixture while waiting for the 1st batch? Im afraid this might cause failing for the meringue to puff beautifully

[@cookingwithkurt]

Hi Carmela - unfortunately leaving uncooked meringue mixture sitting in the fridge or at room temperature while you bake them in batches will deflate the meringue. With the long baking time of each batch, it will deflate a lot. It doesn't fit in the oven, I'd suggest halving the recipe and making smaller cookies or fewer cookies. Hope this helps! :)

[@asuncionlasdulce4205]

I have a problem on removing wafers from partsment or wax paper do I need to brush with oil before cooking and I long should I bring out the waffer from the oven because after baking I let the waffer stay 3 hrs before I bring them out of the oven Thank you very much for the great vedio

[@cookingwithkurt]

Hi Asuncion - if your wafers are sticking to the parchment paper, it probably means they are not completely dry / the moisture from the egg whites have not been baked off. I’d suggest baking them for longer. And be sure to use parchment paper, and not wax paper. Hope this helps!

[@cecilia2737]

What is your oven setting (circulating heat, top&bottom or fan only )for the multiple tray baking? Do u swap the trays mid way during baking? Tks

[@cookingwithkurt]

We use a regular oven (no convection), and did not swap the trays halfway through. Hope this helps! :)

[@annaclarissealday6760]

Hi! Large sheet pans won’t fit in my oven. I’m using a smaller one and will bake it in batches, can I leave the piped meringue in room temp while waiting for my first batch of cookies to cook? Thank you!

[@cookingwithkurt]

Hi Anna - unfortunately, the meringue batter needs to be baked immediately after being prepared. Letting it sit will deflate the meringue, as the air-bubbles that were whipped escape. Hope this helps! :)

[@dianemaesapling]

Hello there. What kind of oven do you use?
