So do you have a yummy favorite recipe that we Yanks might not have heard of before?
If so, please share!
This is a traditional Australian desert. Definitely NOT for the diet conscious.
PAVLOVA
4 egg whites, 6 tbs sugar, 1 tsp vanilla, 1 tsp vinegar. Whipping cream, fruit.
Beat egg whites stiffly, then add 3 tabs sugar. Beat again, then add vanilla and vinegar. Beat again, and add remaining 3 tbs sugar, and beat again (the sugar should all be dissolved).
Make a mound about 8" round on baking paper, and make a slight depression the centre. Put on a cold oven tray and bake in a slow oven about 1½ hours until a slight tinge of colour. Allow to cool, then fill the depression with whipped cream. Top with strawberries; or sliced banana and passionfruit; or drained crushed pineapple; or crushed peppermint crisps; or kiwi fruit, etc. - what ever takes your fancy.
The inside should be 'marshmallowy' - that is what the vinegar does.
