Microwave Meringues Recipes

Steps:

• Sift 300g of icing sugar over 1 lightly beaten egg white. Stir until the mixture is a thick, pliable icing and roll into balls. Line a plate with kitchen paper.
• Put 3 balls at a time on the plate and microwave them on high for 1½ mins - and watch, in amazement, as the balls balloon and puff into meringues.
• When they are cool, use the meringues in desserts. They're perfect for sandwiching together with whipped cream and sliced tropical fruit.

Steps:

• Lightly beat the egg with a fork and gradually mix in enough icing sugar to make a stiff dough. The dough needs to be pliable but not sticky.
• Mould into small balls the size of a walnut.
• Cover a large microwaveable plate with a circle of baking parchment.
• Arrange four of the meringue balls on top of the parchment, placing them a good distance apart from one another.
• Cook on high power (700w) for about 1 - 1.5 mins or until the meringues are puffed up and firm.
• Repeat with the remaining mixture.
• Allow to cool.
