This is my lovely Mummy's recipe for pavlova and is always requested when she is going to/or hosting a dinner, lunch, buffet etc.! The addition of vinegar in the recipe produces a soft marshmallowy meringue that is delicious topped with whipped cream and fruit, and don't worry, you can't taste the vinegar at all!
Yummy Grandma's Pavlova
3 egg whites,
5oz/125g castor sugar,
1tsp clear vinegar,
1/2tsp vanilla.
1/2 pint of whipping cream,
Whatever you'd like on top!
1. Preheat the oven to 200C/gas mark 6.
2. Cover an oven proof plate with foil. Grease the foil and lightly dust with flour.
3. Mix together the egg whites, castor sugar, vinegar and vanilla until it forms stiff peaks. You should be able to turn the bowl upside down without it moving! If you have a stand mixer this is a big bonus but electric hand beaters will do the job in not too long too.
4. Dollop the meringue mix onto the prepared plate and form some peaks around the edge.
5. Bake in the oven for 5 minutes then turn the oven off. Leave the meringue in the oven for a further hour before removing it to cool.
6. When it is cool transfer it to a clean plate.
7. Whip the cream until it forms peaks and top the meringue.
8. Add any further toppings and dig in!
Hope you have lots of success with this recipe too!
