Directions
Pavlova,This is an adopted recipe. My thanks to all those who have reviewed this.,I made this recipe last night, and seven perfect pale beige mini-pavlovas were waiting for me in the cooled oven this morning. However, I only used a half cup of sugar, and they’re still a lot sweeter than I’d like. (use only one tbsp per egg white to make meringue for lemon pie, and that’s plenty sweet for me.) Sweetness is a matter of taste, however; the method works fine, and is easy! Following somebody’s tip somewhere, which said to only add as much water as needed, I added only half the water, waiting to see if the rest was needed, but the mix ended up firm enough to spoon into nest shapes to hold the cream and fruit, so I didn’t add more. I think that the amount of water needed is something each cook needs to play with, and it’s probably affected by humidity, altitude, freshness of egg whites, and phase of the moon! (37% humidity in the house, 3600′ elev., eggs laid the same morning, last quarter moon 😉 ) On a hunch (and lacking tinfoil), I baked the pavs on parchment paper on ungreased cookie sheets, and they popped off perfectly, no residue, crumbs, goo, cracking, or tearing. I’ve wrapped most of the pavs in paper to absorb any moisture (hah!), then in plastic, and now they’re in a sealed cookie tin in the freezer so nothing crushes them…apparently they can be frozen for up to a month. North American readers, please make sure that you use corn STARCH, and not corn FLOUR that you’d use to make tortillas! Happy munching!
