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.
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.

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.
