Australian Pavlova
Ingredients4 egg whites at room temperature, 1 cup castor sugar (granulated)
1 tsp vinegar, 1 tsp corn flour, and 1 tsp vanilla flavor.
Method: Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.
With an electric mixer beat the egg whites until soft peaks
form then gradually add the sugar. Beat until firm.
Add the corn flour, vinegar and vanilla.
When combined, turn out into a flat tray
that has been greased and dusted with corn flours.
Try a circular shape with slightly more mixture at the edges,
so that it may be served by placing goodies in the centre depression.
Cook in a pre-heated, cool (250 deg. f) oven for one hour.
When cooked, turn the oven off, leave the oven door slightly ajar,
and allow cooling slowly in the oven.
This slow cooling works to prevent the loss of too much height.
Serve cold, with whipped cream and fresh fruit pieces,
strawberries, pineapple, mango, etc.
