Not only do I pride myself that I am able to inspire others to write authentic pieces, I have always claimed to be able to produce an outstanding Pavalova. The Pavalova that I make is always crisp on the outside, with a deep, marshmallow, meringue inside. For the real secret of that deep marshmallow centre read on. 9 egg whites Whip egg whites with an electric mixer (not a food processor) until stiff and white and then gradually add the sugar, 1 tbsp at a time. When finished the meringue should be thick and shiny. Stir in vinegar, cornflour and vanilla, gently, with a metal spoon. Pile on a prepared tray, strictly confining the mixture within a dinner plate circle, marked on the foil lined tray. Smooth over the top of the meringue with a spatula (do not hollow the centre... this is the secret of the marshmallow centre) The meringue should resemble a flat oval cake which is approximately 6cm thick. Preheat oven to very hot. Place the pavalova in the very hot oven but turn down the temperature immediately to very slow (120c to 130c) and bake for 2 hours. The secret of writing lies here somewhere.
