MAGIC MERINGUES

This is a dough like meringue...
Follow the directions ...
You will be amazed and you will need to have a microwave oven .
Microwave meringues are the real magic trick.
The mixture is prepared like thick icing and needs to be pliable enough to shape .

LET`S START .....
Place 1 egg in a bowl and STIR with a fork until frothy .
Add 1/2 tsp of red food colouring  ( optional )
1 tsp of raspberry flavouring ( optional )
Now STIR in 350 gm of sifted icing sugar .. stir in batches using enough to make a VERY stiff dough .
It should be the consistency of marzipan .
Mould the dough in to 24  BEAN shapes or 24 marble sized discs .
Flatten slightly.
Place 6 small discs on baking paper on the microwave turn table .
Place them well apart as they will TRIPLE in size .
Cook for 1 minute on HIGH or till dry
Leave stand for 1 minute before removing from the microwave .
Repeat with remaining batches .
Just before serving , sandwich the meringues together with whipped cream.
Enjoy .
