Step By Step : How to make a traditional Pavlova

Step 1
Line a baking tray with baking paper. Mark a 23 cm circle onto the paper. Use a plate as a guide.

Step 2
Beat eggwhites until stiff peaks form or they hold their shape. Use a clean, dry bowl to beat eggwhites as any water or fat will reduce the volume of the eggwhites. Spoon the eggwhite mixture onto the circle.

Step 3
Using a palette knife or spatula, mold the eggwhite mixture to fit inside the circle.

Step 4
Make furrows or grooves along the sides of the circle. These will help support the pavlova and prevent it from cracking or collapsing.
