Ingredients
3 egg whites1 pinch salt3/4 tsp vinegar (white)3/4 tsp vanilla extract (pure)1 cup granulated sugarfresh whipped creamassorted fresh berries and fruit
Directions
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. You will be turning the temp down to 300 degrees when you put this in to bake. Line a 9-10 inch round glass dish with parchment paper.

Take the 1 cup of sugar and put it in your blender and blend until fine (this makes the equivalent of castor/superfine sugar).

Combine the egg whites and salt in large mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer or stand mixer using a whisk attachment until able to form soft peaks. Add in vinegar and vanilla. While beating, sprinkle in the sugar 1 Tbl at a time and whip until stiff peaks.

Spread evenly into prepared glass dish, making sure to spread out to all of the edges.

Place pavlova into the oven and immediately reduce temp to 300 degrees. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the top is crisp and a pale straw color. Leave in the oven, and turn off the heat. Let stay in the oven until the oven has cooled completely. (I usually bake in the evening, and then leave overnight.)

Just before serving, whip the cream & powdered sugar. Serve either with a dollop of whipped cream and fresh fruit, or spread whipped cream on top of the pavlova and arrange fruit on top.

NOTE: The calories in this recipe do NOT include whatever fruit you top the pavlova with. In the winter I use frozen berries- defrost in the fridge overnight and add a bit of sugar.
