Pavlova
Origins of the Pavlova. Australia or New Zealand?
Whether it is Australian or New Zealand made, the Pavlova is a sweet and sickly delight to devour once and awhile!
4 egg whites
1 tspn vanilla essence (5 ml)
2 tspns vinegar
1 cup sugar
Instructions
Preheat oven to 150 oC (300 oF)
Grease oven tray
Beat the egg whites until very stiff
Fold in vinegar and vanilla
Add sugar, and beat until smooth
Pile the mix onto oven tray about the size of a medium cake.
Place pavlova in oven, and immediately reduce temperature to 100 oC
Cook for 90 minutes
If cooked correctly (as all ovens vary), the pav should be crunchy on the outside, and like marshmallow on the inside. Do not open the oven at all while cooking!!!!
To serve:
Arrange sliced kiwifruit or any other fresh fruit you like, on top of whipped cream (250ml of full cream per pavlova), with icing sugar being added to the cream during whipping to one’s own taste (I put about 1/2 cup in).

> Dessert: The Kiwi & Australian PavalovaPosted by Peter M || e-mail Hi, I refer to an article in todays (16/7/05) Dom/Post by at research group comprising both Kiwi’s and Aussies. The Pav recipe was first published here in NZ in 1929, but the first mention of it in Aus was 1935 in Perth. So that makes it a Kiwi recipe! > Dessert: The Kiwi & Australian PavalovaPosted by baadboybrown Well first up Pavalova is awesome! Secondly I should point out a few things which I’m sure you’ve heard before but just in case you haven’t..... Pavalova was named after the Russian ballet dancer, because it was described "..as light as Pavlova". The first version of pavalova was made by a New Zealander, and later served as a dish to the Queen of England (Who thought it was awesome too - Those were her exact words ;) ). Evidence of the use of meringues can be found in New Zealand cooking long before it appeared in Australian cooking or cookbooks. So its evident that those dodgey dingoes from across the ditch, i.e The Australians, borrowed the recipe. In either case we both love it and so has everyone I’ve met whose ever tried it. -> Show all |
