- The Bard looks up from a sheaf of printout, the header page of which
- reads "Cookbook.txt", and grins at the Danger Mouse. "Nice work, people...
- I'd missed a lot of these when they first came round." He sighs. "Diets....
- ho hum... Anyway, here's another idiot proof recipe (i.e. Bard-proof)...
-
- Easy meringues
- --------------
-
- 9-12oz icing/confectioner's sugar
- (the original recipe says 10oz but it's not critical)
- white of one egg
-
- Beat ingredients together till they have the consistency of marzipan or
- putty.
-
- Take a sheet of greaseproof paper that will fit in your microwave,
- place several smallish (1-2" diam) balls of the mixture on the sheet,
- Microwave on full power for around a minute. Repeat with rest of mix.
-
- Presto - instant, crunchy, somewhat fragile, light, meringue 'pats' -
- flattened domes about 3-4" across. Crush and serve with fruit + frozen
- yoghurt + whipped cream, top with one intact piece
-
- Warning - this makes a LOT! No. I mean a LOT!
-
- It's also a great way of spotting just HOW unevenly your microwave
- cooks.
