Pavlova
- Preheat oven on Conventional at 110°C with Rapid heat turned off. Select Crisp function if available.
- In a freestanding mixer with a balloon whisk attachment, whisk egg whites until soft peaks form.
- Gradually add sugar, beating well after each addition until meringue is stiff and shiny and sugar has dissolved.
- Mix together the vinegar and vanilla, then add the cornflour to form a paste. Gently fold the cornflour paste into the meringue.
- Line a baking tray with baking paper. Draw a 22 cm circle and turn the paper over.
- Using a spoon, loosely spread the meringue onto the tray in the shape of the circle.
- Place the tray on shelf position 1 and bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes. Turn the oven off and leave in the oven for 40 minutes. Remove and allow to cool completely.
