Strawberry Pavlova

Preheat oven to 140°C/Gas Mark 1/120°C. Cover a baking tray in baking paper

Beat the egg whites in a mixer till fluffy

Drop a tbsp of sugar into the egg whites and then mix. Keep doing this until there is roughly 2 tbsp of caster sugar left

Mix in 1 tsp of cornflour and 1 tbsp of caster sugar so that there is now 1 tbsp left in the bowl.

Drop in 1-2 tsp of malt vinegar and mix. Mix in the last of the caster sugar.

Pour the mixture onto a baking tray in a circle (Leave some room around the edge as it will expand in the oven!)

Put tray into the oven to bake for 1 hour

Beat the double cream till it creates ‘peaks’ when the whisk is removed

Take the meringue part out of the oven and let it cool before you take it off the tray

Take the base off the tray and then smooth the cream over the top of the mixture and add some strawberries on top.
