Trying to make these for a recipe.
After two attempts I realized the recipe I was using was wrong when I
compared it to others. I'm trying a recipe that agrees with most of
them for amounts/ratios/ingredients.

The instructions said the dough/paste should be glossy and smooth. It
wasn't that glossy and I thought thicker than smooth. I made a small
bath from this, then added another egg. The resulting paste was much
smoother, and shiny. I know baking needs very exact measurements...is
this wrong...should I have added something other than egg?

When I pulled the first small batch out they deflated immediately.
Not baked enough?

What excactly makes them .. puffy? The egg?
