  • Meringues in 40 seconds? We kid you not. We watched a Mumsnet video on how to make meringues in three minutes and decided to better it. Take that Mumsnet.... after many attempts we perfected our recipe and we made some in 40 seconds. Perfect for a more-or-less instant sugar hit.
    You will need
    150g icing sugar - or thereabouts
    1 egg white
    Whipped cream
    Strawberries
    Sift the icing sugar in to a large-ish bowl with the egg white. Mix together until it is around the same consistency as icing. You may need more or less sugar so do it gradually - it needs to be the consistency of royal icing. When it is mixed you need to cut the mixture in to portions about the size of a large marble - I weighed mine to be 15g each and then put three at a time widely spaced out on a plate covered with greaseproof paper in the microwave. I cooked them on 800w for 40 seconds - but keep your eye on them because they burn quickly. They are great to make with children as they can do most of the recipe themselves. Great eaten with cream and strawberries.
    And if you like quick puddings try our 5m cake in a cup. It is a sensation!

    if the recipe takes only 40 seconds, then why does the video last over 5 minutes??

    • @crumbsfood

      +Charon1978 40 seconds to cook! And there was a lot of explaining to do!

    I used to make these but slightly differently. I separated the mixture into 3 and coloured two of them. Then put 3 small balls (one of each colour) into cupcake cases and cooked those in the microwave. They rise better due to the cases and u don't need the greaseproof on the plate. Still use the plate under them to get them in and out though. Enjoy

    3/4 Cups of icing sugar
    1 Egg
    And when you split it into balls, about 1 tablespoon.

    Why is everyone so critical about the 40 seconds, would it make you happy if they change to cook Meringue in 40 seconds? I’m pretty sure you know what the point was realizing your not spending an hour or so in the oven, they actually cooked in less then 40 seconds.
    I would imagine you pessimistic people are that one neighbor that’s a thorn everyone’s side. 🙄
    Wonderful job ladies the microwave was a fantastic idea. You are a great team , looking forward to future videos.

      it should work, but it will take longer, the reason powdered sugar is used is so it dissolves faster. it would require more mixing.

      Redbru49 TV .not really but the best type of sugar to use for a meringue is caster sugar. Remember 1/4 cup sugar per egg white .......I personally like to subtract that by 1 tablespoon and add 1 teaspoon of maple syrup.
      Good luck

    04:35 Claims these are 30 sec's Meringues ...... (which is not 40 Sec's or 22)
