Contributor: Get Kids Cooking

{ INGREDIENTS }

4 egg whites (at room temperature)

1 cup pure icing sugar

1/2 tsp white vinegar

1 tbsp gluten free corn flour

 

EQUIPMENT YOU WILL NEED

Baking tray

Baking paper

Measuring spoons

Oil

Electric mixer with clean beaters

Spatula

Very clean and dry bowl

{ METHOD }

Preheat oven to 200’C

Put a drop of oil on the tray and place baking paper on top

Using electric mixer beat egg whites on medium setting until soft peaks form

Without stopping the beating, add sugar all at once and beat on high speed until it is a glossy, meringue-style mixture

Once it is thick enough that it holds it’s shape in peaks on top, slowly beat, then add vinegar and corn flour, and beat for just 5 seconds further

Spoon mixture onto prepared tray in your preferred shape, and place in oven

Immediately turn the oven down to 100’C and DO NOT USE THE FAN

Cook for 90-120 minutes.  Pavlova should not colour, a little syrup may seep out the bottom

Turn oven off and leave to cool in the oven.

Allergy Aware Cooks Note

Replace egg whites with 1 cup of aquafaba (drained chick pea juice) and increase to 2.5 cups icing sugar.  Once cooked, turn oven off, and leave door closed until cold.

Tasty Tip

Decorate with whipped coconut cream/cream, quark or lemon curd and your favourite summer fruits!
