Add 1/2 cup of castor sugar, beat thoroughly until the sugar is dissolved- about 5 minutes.
Add remaining sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating well after each addition.
Lightly fold in the cornflour then the vinegar.
Scrape the mixture out into a pile onto grease proof paper. Shape it into a circle and keep it fairly high in shape as it spreads a bit as it cooks.
Place on a low shelf in a pre heated oven 200 degrees celsius, then immediately reduce heat to 125 degrees and cook for 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours. Cool in the oven.
Recipe Notes
Note that the pavlova will shrink and crack on cooling- that is normal- just fill it with whipped cream and toppings.
