Christmas Pavlova – a Family Tradition

This is a little late, however, I would like to share this lovely and easy Pavlova recipe that I make every year for my family’s Christmas dinner.

4 egg whites

1 cup caster sugar

1 teaspoon cornflour

1 teaspoon vinegar

1 teaspoon vanilla essence

Preheat oven (140°C/275ºF). Grease a Pavlova tray ( I use a pizza tray) and line with foil or baking paper. Beat egg whites until stiff . Gradually add sugar, beating constantly,  then continue beating at medium speed until very glossy. Gently fold in remaining ingredients and spoon or pipe the mixture on to the prepared tray. Bake for 1½ hours or until cooked. Turn off the heat and allow to cool in oven. Carefully remove foil or baking paper and fill as desired. My family’s favourite topping is lots of whipped cream topped with tropical fruit salad.
