Microwave Meringues
"From Phil Vickery's Proof of the Pudding. These are a little sweeter than regular meringues and are not especially pretty, but are fine for using in recipes where they get crushed up. Not yet tried."
- Ready In:
- 9mins
- Ingredients:
- 2
- Yields:
-
8-10 meringues
ingredients
- 1 large egg white
- golden icing sugar (280-350g)
directions
- 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.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
Aloha! I'm 29 years old and from the UK. My other half calls me his 1950's housewife because I just love to bake, preserve and cook in general! After studying catering at college I decided commercial cookery wasn't for me but I still like nothing more than discovering new dishes, throwing dinner parties and so on!
I work on the recruitment side of a quantity surveying consultancy about 25 miles north of London. I love my job. It's hard work but fast paced, challenging and my work day just flies by.
With regards to how I rate recipes, I try and keep it fair and to the system. I do my best to give no lower than 3 stars but will do on occasion if I made something as directed and it still ended up in the bin. I've never given 1 star but on occasion I'll leave no stars if I suspect something went horribly wrong. Most recipes get rated at 3/4 stars because 5 stars is reserved for spectacular recipes that become frequent users and a family favourite. Everyone has their own rating systems and that doesn't offend me. Rate my recipes as you see fit - I know what I like and what I don't and I'm here to fill my recipe book (filling anyone elses is merely an advantage), not to win a popularity competition or become chef of the year.
