Pavlova

This is the 1st time making Pavlova and eating it too. It tasted just like marshmallow to me. It wasn't a difficult recipe, pretty simple though!

Recipe adapted from www.kiwiwise.co.nz

Ingredients:

3 Egg Whites

1 Cup Caster Sugar
1 Teaspoon Vinegar

1 Tablespoon Cornflour

1 Teaspoon Vanilla Essence

1.Beat egg whites until stiff (forms peaks). Add sugar - heaped tablespoon at a time - beating well after each addition. Then beat for at least 10 minutes. This is very important. Then sprinkle vinegar, cornflour and vanilla essence into mixture. Beat until blended.

2.Coat baking paper with water drops to allow baking paper to stick to sides of tin and pile pavlova mixture in 20cm circle.

3. Heat oven until 150°C. Put pavlova in oven and immediately turn oven down to  125°C and leave for 1 hour. Then turn oven off and leave in oven until cold. (Usually overnight). This makes a nice crust on outside of pavlova.

3.Before serving, cover pavlova in whipped cream and decorate with your favourite fruit.
