  1. Step 1:

    Step 1.

    How to make meringue in the microwave in 5 minutes? Prepare the ingredients according to the list. There are only two of them: egg white and powdered sugar. If desired, you can use additives such as vanillin or citric acid to improve the taste of the dessert. Put a very small amount of them on the tip of the knife, otherwise the meringue will be bitter.

  2. Step 2:

    Step 2.

    Wash the egg well with detergent and then dry it. Separate the egg white from the yolk, we do not need the yolk, it can be used for baking.

  3. Step 3:

    Step 3.

    Pour powdered sugar into a deep bowl, you can buy it ready-made in the store or make it yourself from ordinary white sugar using a coffee grinder or other device for grinding. Add the egg white to the bowl.

  4. Step 4:

    Step 4.

    Using a regular spoon or whisk (you can use a blender or mixer to speed up the process), rub the ingredients until a thick white and homogeneous mass is obtained. If it turns out to be so thick that you can pick it up, then you can roll small balls of the same size with your hands — blanks of meringue. If the mass is not very thick, then form the meringue blanks with a pastry syringe or put it on parchment with a spoon.

    Step 5.

    The main thing is to make small portions, because the cooking process in the microwave is a little different than in the oven, and with all the desire, such voluminous meringues as in the oven will not work. And to begin with, it's better to send a small portion to the microwave to adjust to the power, see how it turns out. Meringue can burn if you put a lot of power.

  6. Step 6:

    Step 6.

    I dried the meringue for 1 minute at a power of 750 watts, after the beep, you do not need to open the microwave door immediately, let the meringue "ripen" for a couple of minutes so that they dry better. Carefully remove the meringues from the microwave and separate them from the parchment. Since the meringue is obtained in the form of thin cakes, they may crumble a little when removed.

    Step 7.

    Serve a delicious, tender and mouth-melting treat to the table with tea or coffee. In addition, such meringue can be used as a basis for making cakes and other desserts. Enjoy your meal!

Be sure to wash the eggs before use, as even the seemingly clean shell may contain harmful bacteria. It is best to use food detergents and a brush.

Keep in mind that microwaves don't work the same way. The cooking time and recommended power may differ from those stated in the recipe. Read the instructions for your device and take into account the features of your equipment.

Baked goods cooked in the microwave, always will differ in taste and structure of the dough from the one that was made in the oven or slow cooker. It doesn't mean she's bad/good - she's just OTHER . The crumb of a cupcake, pie, casserole and so on will be unusual and it is quite possible that you will not like it. If you have doubts about the taste of dough dishes in the microwave, it is better not to cook them!
