If the engine does not respond as expected you are going hit hard and perhaps break something. The better technique is to keep enough kinetic energy in the plane to stop the sink regardless of descent rate on final. This simply means adding a few knots as the approach becomes steeper. For engine out landings you don't have a choice. Chris Zavatson N91CZ L360std >>Colorado during a summer afternoon. You may be caught off-guard by how much power is required to stop the decent rate when you flare.
