Pavlova
Serves: 8-10
Preparation time: 25 minutes
Cooking: 90 minutes plus 4 hours cooling
4 egg whites
1 cup castor sugar
2 teaspoons vinegar
3 teaspoons cornflour
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1. Preheat oven to 120°C. Grease and flour
20cm round tray.
2. Using a clean, dry bowl whip the egg whites
until stiff on 5-6 (high) speed.
3. Gradually add the sugar, a teaspoon at a
time to start. Beat well between each
addition. As the mixture thickens add the
sugar more quickly. This should take
approximately 5-8 minutes mixing time.
4. Reduce speed to 1 and fold through
vinegar, cornflour and vanilla. Continue
mixing until mixture is stiff and glossy,
approximately 2-3 minutes.
5. Spread half pavlova onto prepared tray.
Pipe the remaining mixture to form a
border.
6. Bake for 1¼-1½ hours. If able, turn oven
off and allow to cool in oven overnight or
for a few hours.
