Foolproof pavlova recipe
6-7 egg whites
12oz caster sugar
Beat egg whites til stiff, add 12oz caster sugar and beat for up to 10 minutes til thick and glossy (much easier with electric mixer). Spoon onto a tray lined with tinfoil (greased and floured to prevent sticking). Bake at 150 deg. for one hour, then 100 deg. for half hour, turn oven off and leave to cool in oven. Do not open oven at any time during cooking.
