She is consistently late with treats when those children are around.​

For @drstratton
EASY 2 EGG PAVLOVA​

• 2 egg whites​
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla​
• 1 teaspoon cornflour​
• 1 1/2 cups castor sugar​
• 1 teaspoon vinegar​
• 1/3 cup boiling water​

Combine all ingredients. Beat on high on mixer until sugar has dissolved & the mixture is very stiff. [roughly 15 mins]

Cover a baking sheet with aluminium foil. A pizza base sheet works well.

Cover the base with mixture to form a meringue circle with the centre filled in. Now if you stop here [& you can] fruit & cream is liable to slide off. What I do is reserve some mixture. I use this to form small meringues around the perimeter of the circle. All it requires is a spoon of the desired size. I use a teaspoon. Twist the spoon as you add dollops of the mixture. This will give the desired *meringue* effect. The dollops should touch each other so that when baked you have an inverted bowl to fill with fruit & cream.

Bake in a moderate oven for 10 mins. Decrease the temperature & slow bake for a further 1 ~ 1 1/2 hours. Cool in the oven with the door ajar. It should sound sort of hollow when you tap it. This is the crunchy variety. I have no idea how to make a soft Pav.

Just before eating fill with whipped cream & fruit of choice.

Word of warning: don't try this in high humidity. The insides will go gooey.

Not my image but it shows you how the little meringues will hold your filling in place.​

I've never had a fail with this recipe. It is super easy & still tastes great.

I've never made a Pav myself but I might give this a go come Spring. Bookmarked! Thanks Ribh.

I looked at that and wondered whether I should crop the poo out. Then I figured we’re all friends here.

What was the their decision? I do hope they agreed to let you stay on.

That would be the perfect picture to give us a full name list.
Top row, left to right; Middle row, left to right etc.
I confess to not always (actually rarely) having them straight in my head.
