Directions: |
Directions:Prepare a baking sheet by greasing lightly with butter and placing on it a sheet of tinfoil or baking paper. Grease the tinfoil and then shake on a few drops of cold water and smear around leaving a thin film of water. Beat egg whites, salt and cold water until stiff with an electric mixer in large bowl. While still beating add the castor sugar very slowly a tablespoonful at a time and keep beating between additions. This takes time so don't hurry this step. When all sugar has been added beat in the vinegar and the vanilla. Remove beaters and with a metal tablespoon fold in with cutting movements the cornstarch. With a spatula scoop mix onto baking sheet and form into a circle about 8" in diameter but keeping the mix fairly high. Form a slight dent in the top if liked or keep flat. Place tray in the centre of a 350'F oven and bake for 10mins. After 10mins lower heat to 300'F and then after another 10mins lower heat to 250'F and continue baking for 1hr. Do not open oven door while cooking. When time is up turn oven off and open door slightly and leave Pavlova to cool in oven. When completely cold top with freshly whipped cream and decorate with fruit of choice or grated chocolate. |
