Pavlova: the best recipe

Rest:

Ingredients · Servings 6 people
  • 6 egg whites
  • 340 g de sucre
  • 1.5 teaspoons of vinegar (preferably malt vinegar)
  • 1.5 cornstarch
  • 25 cl of liquid cream
  • 25g of icing sugar
  • strawberries
  • raspberries
  • raisin
  • fishing
  • nectarine
  • banana
Method · 1 h 35 min
  1. Beat the egg whites until very stiff peaks form. Gradually add the sugar. Beat again. Add the vinegar and cornstarch. Beat again. The mixture should be very stiff and glossy.
  2. Place on a very lightly oiled baking sheet (or better yet, the French equivalent of 'non-stick baking paper'). It should be in a fairly high circle shape (8 to 10cm).
  3. Bake in the oven at 130°C for 1 hour 15 minutes.
  4. Allow to cool. Refrigerate. One hour before serving, whip the cream into chantilly, adding the icing sugar, spread over the meringue and arrange the fruit on top.

This is the best way to never miss an issue, save money and enjoy a treat every two months :) Plus, you'll have access to the digital version to read absolutely anywhere.
