The best pavlova recipe ever!

The Photo A Day Challenge @ Fat Mum Slim topic for Tuesday was "Childhood" and that got me thinking about Mum's recipe for Pavlova. It has a lovely marshmallow centre, and couldn't be easier.

• Add the following in a mixing bowl.
• 2 egg whites
• 1 1/2 cups caster sugar
• 1 teaspoon cornflour
• 1 teaspoon white vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence (extract often has emulsifier which brakes the structure of the mix - found that out the hard way)
• Start beating with electric mixer, and drizzle in 4 tablespoons of boiling water.
• Beat for 15 minutes.

• Bake for 10 minutes @ 170C
• Then bake for 45 minutes @ 140C

I've used this recipe for both pavlova and meringues, to great success.
