RECIPE: Make meringue in a microwave
This recipe for meringue can be completed in three minutes using a microwave.
Meringue is usually made by whipping egg whites and sugar until stiff peaks then baking in a oven.
Food vlogger Ddulgi shared a quick recipe on her YouTube account which does not require any whipping or baking.
"I made a sweet dessert microwave meringue cookie. It's done by 40 seconds in the microwave! It's a little more rough and light than meringue cookies. It's very similar to Karumeyaki (cinder toffee). It's a very good recipe that saves time and energy," she wrote on the description of the video.
Ingredients:
- whites from one egg
- 260 grams of powdered sugar
- food coloring (optional)
Procedure:
- Combine egg whites and 260 grams of powdered sugar in a bowl.
- Add sugar in batches and knead until well combined.
- Add food coloring if desired.
- Split the dough into discs about as big as a table tennis ball.
- Place the dough on a microwave safe plate over a kitchen towel.
- Microwave each disc for 40 seconds.
