Method
- Preheat oven to 125 degrees.
- Whip egg whites and vanilla extract on a high speed in your electric mixer in a perfectly clean, ideally metal bowl until soft peaks form.
- Slowly add caster sugar as you whip.
- Spoon onto a tray lined with baking paper and bake in a preheated oven for 2 hours for a whole large meringue/pavlova or 1 hour for baby cute ones.
- Once baked, turn off oven and allow to cool completely in oven with door ajar. Opening the door can cause the meringue to crack and deflate, making a chewy mess instead of a light, fluffy cloud!
