Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought this product in order to make my childhood’s favorite Russian pastry, zephyr. I was told that agar agar is a capricious product to work with, so I tried to stay away from it for as long as I could. Well, I made my first zephyr a week ago and it turned out perfect. In fact, it was a compete hit!!!!!! I can attribute my success to the two things: 1) quality of the product; 2) responsiveness of the seller. My recipe called for 8 grams of agar agar (900 strength) per 140 grams of water. So I reached out to the seller and received a response within a day. This particular agar agar has 700 strength per cm2. I eyeballed the adjustment. I put 12 grams of agar agar and it was just perfect. The pastry was melting in our mouths. Enjoy!
