Pavlova

3 large egg whites
6oz caster sugar

preheat oven to 150oC
whisk egg whites until softly peak and stay in bowl when turned upside down - this really impresses your kids
whisk in sugar 1 tblspn at a time
8 inch circle on silicone sheet then add blobs to circumference
swirl the blobs with a skewer tip

put in oven for 1hr turning down to 140oC
turn off and leave in oven overnight

275ml of whipped double cream does the business saving extra for the table jug (whipped or pourable)
12oz soft fruit topped with a little icing sugar to be really decadent.


The Vicar's wife's Alternative Recipe

3 egg whites
6 oz sugar
2 tsps corn flour
1 tsp vinegar
1/2 tsp vanilla essence

beat up the whites adding the sugar gradually
turn mixer to slowest speed and add the cornflour and vinegar and vanilla escence
put on a tray, and cook for one hour and then turn off the oven and leave to cool for 30 minutes

fill as required but will last for weeks in a sealed container
