Title: Meringue in the microwave
Post by: Bonsai on October 04, 2014, 12:38:45 pm

I got this idea from Not Quite Nigella's blog - mix 2 cups of icing sugar with 1 egg white to make a soft dough (I mixed my Dough by hand and needed a bit more sugar to stop it being too sticky).

Cut in to 16 pieces and roll in to balls. Line microwave tray with baking paper and place 4 balls on the edge of tray (space them out) and cook 45 seconds (1200W microwave)(http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/10/04/021cc58992a6a7a4aee56e03c8654fc2.jpg)). The meringues puffed up and were crispy at this stage. If they are still soft increase cooking time by 5 seconds.

Cool on a rack and repeat with remaining mix, 4 balls at a time.(http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/10/04/4389d29230dc2b0951480a2d721aa062.jpg)(http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/10/04/abc54d97f76316d105bde9aa574ecd1b.jpg)

They are not quite like oven made meringue but so quick and easy!

They would be handy for a quick Eton Mess to to put beside a fruit coulis that you were serving with something. Thanks.

I'm sure you could do smaller balls for less time to give biscuit size bites. The ones I made were about 6cm diameter.
