Filet Mignon
Please add a simple recipe for filet mignon.
--Joan
Hi Joan! I don’t have a simple recipe that is specifically for filet mignon, also called beef tenderloin. However, my Pan-Seared Rib Eyes is a terrific, no-fuss recipe that is just what you’re looking for. Just substitute 4 filet mignon for the rib eyes. They should cook in about the same amount of time, but will take a little longer if they are thicker than 1 inch. Enjoy!

QuestionI have been baking forever but no matter how much I read up on meringue pies, mine always weep. I make my custard, then put it in the pie shell while I am making the meringue. I whip the egg whites till frothy then start adding my sugar slowly and some cream of tarter. Whip till soft peaks form, then spread out on the custard pie completely to the end of the pan, covering every inch. Bake for 10 minutes or so, take out of oven let cool a couple of hours and the result is a weeping pie. What am I doing wrong? --KathyMarch 2012

Question
I am puzzled by the puff pastry method… the flour is to be just thrown into the boiling water, won’t it clump? What would happen if the flour and salt was first mixed with a bit of cold water? Would it still clump? Or what would happen? Or has it never been tried this way before?

QuestionI have a problem and am hoping you can help me. I love recipes that have you put biscuits on top, like creamed chicken and biscuits. However the problem I have is that when you put them on top to bake, the underside of the biscuit never gets cooked. It's always still doughy and runny at times. How do I correct this to be able to bake them on top? Thank you for any help you can give :-) --LauraMarch 2012
