Notes

Every microwave cooks differently, so it may take some experimenting to get this recipe exactly right. Start by cooking it for 50 seconds, then check to see if it's done all the way through. Add an additional 10 seconds as needed, or until the dough is firm all the way to the bottom of the cup.
