It's easier than working out what to do with all the left-over egg yolks if you are not planning on whipping up mayonnaise afterwards.
Last night I had fun baking mini-pavlovas for the fire brigade barbecue tonight.
Listening to 3RRR, drinking a diet ginger-beer and keeping an eye on the chooks to make sure they did not invade the bean patch, it's a pleasant way to spend a sunny summer evening.
As I'd already made the chocolate spice and vanilla butter cakes, the oven was well heated so I could easily lower the temperature.
To check they are cooked, gently tap the meringue - it will sound hollow if it is done.
While a large pavlova looks spectacular, for a buffet I prefer to make single serves so people can help themselves.
ALISON'S NO-FAIL MERINGUES
4 egg whites
3/4 cup castor sugar
1 pinch of salt
2 TBL spoons sifted pure icing sugar
Beat egg whites, Salt and sugar until thick, glossy and firm - about 10 minutes
Gently fold in icing sugar until fully combined
Line flat trays with baking paper
Pipe into small swirls
Bake in a low oven - around 100 degrees for about an hour (every oven is different so keep an eye on them to ensure they don't brown.)
Fill with cream and scatter with blueberries or grated chocolate
Enjoy!
