INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat
oven to 150°C. Line a baking tray with some non-stick baking paper. Draw a 20cm
circle on the paper, place on the tray, circle side down.
2.
Use
an electric mixer to whisk egg whites and salt until soft peaks form. Add
sugar, 1/2 cup at a time, whisking for 1 minute after each addition. Once all
the sugar has been added, continue to whisk on high for 3 minutes.
3. Combine
cornflour, vinegar and vanilla essence. Add to meringue and whisk until just
combined.
4. Use
a spatula to spread meringue over the circle, smoothing the surface and sides.
Reduce the oven temperature to 120°C. Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes - the
pavlova should be dry to the touch. Turn off the oven and leave to cool
completely.
5. Whip
cream until thick. Spoon onto pavlova and decorate with fresh fruit of your
choice. Cut into wedges to serve.
