I get homework from my lovely friend Fitta and Syantie to post my favorite food. I love to cook and I love to eat Indonesia food, but since I lived in Australia since 10 years ago, I would like to post about famous Australian dessert, Pavlova.
In 1935, the chef of the Hotel Esplanade in Perth, Western Australia, Herbert Sachse, created the pavlova to celebrate the visit of the great Russian ballerina, Anna Pavlova. Whilst it has been suggested this dessert was created in New Zealand, it has become recognized as a popular Australian dish.
I made Lapis Surabaya last week, and I didn't use the white eggs for that cake. So, I think its the right time to make Pavlova as our favourite food.
Ingredients: 4-6 egg whites pinch salt 8oz castor sugar/sugar (equal parts) 1 teaspoon white vinegar 1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence 2 level teaspoons cornflour
(Please note the following equivalents: castor sugar or fine/super fine sugar corn flour or cornstarch)
Preheat oven to 400F(200C). Lightly grease oven tray, line with baking paper or use non-stick cooking spray.
Beat the whites of eggs with a pinch of salt until stiff (until peaks form). Continue beating, gradually adding sugar, vinegar and vanilla, until of thick consistency. Lightly fold in cornflour.
Pile mixture into circular shape, making hollow in centre for filling. I made mini pavlova since my family like the small pavlova.
Electric oven: turn oven to 250F (130C) and bake undisturbed for 1 1/2 hours. Gas oven: bake at 400F (200C) for ten minutes, then turn oven to 250F (130C) and bake a further hour. (Fan forced oven: temperature and time needs to be adjusted accordingly.) Turn oven off, leave pavlova in oven until cool.
Top with whipped cream and decorate with fruit as desired.
