Meringues in the Microwave

Directions

Beat egg white briefly, then add icing sugar and mix until you have a stiff paste. (similar to fondant icing - it must be very stiff) Shape mixture into 24 small balls.

Line a flat non-metallic plate or turntable with non-stick paper.

Arrange meringues, 8 at a time, in a circle, and cook for 1½ minutes until well risen.

Remove meringues when they have cooled slightly, and repeat cooking procedure with rest of mixture.

The meringues can be kept in a tin indefinitely.

NOTE:

Watch meringues carefully and stop cooking if they appear to be browning at all.
