If it is Hugh Platt's recipe, you have just demonstrated that the author of
that redaction is not to be trusted. It sounds as though he started with
the assumption that it was a meringue and changed the recipe to fit,
instead of rejecting the assumption because it was obviously inconsistent
with the original recipe.

You can find the original and our worked out version in the Miscellany, webbed.
