4. Mix until a "Play Doh" like dough forms.
5. Cover a plate with a paper towel.
6. Pinch and roll up three marble sized balls of dough. Place on paper towel - space them well away from each other.
7. Microwave for 55 seconds to 2 minutes (depends on your microwave).
8. Watch the marbles bloom into huge meringues! Repeat until dough is gone.

Simple indeed. Thanks

And this has to be so very versatile. They could be topped with most anything. I have been eating lots of oranges lately and reluctantly throwing the peelings away. I'm going to try this with orange zest as a topping.

Is 1 batch 3 balls of dough?
