Ingredients

    6 egg whites
    2 cups Chelsea Caster Sugar (450g)
    1 tsp Edmonds Fielder's Cornflour
    1 tsp vanilla essence
    1 tsp white vinegar
    Food colouring (optional)

    To Serve (optional)
    Whipped cream
    Fresh fruit
    Berry or chocolate sauce

Method

    Preheat oven to 110°C bake. Line two large baking trays with baking paper.

    In a large bowl (not plastic) beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually, add Chelsea Caster Sugar very slowly. The sugar adding process should take at least 10 minutes. The resulting mixture should be thick and glossy. 

    Beat in the cornflour, vanilla essence and vinegar until just combined.

    Use food colouring to tint the mixture if desired.

    Spoon or pipe mixture into little 'blobs' on prepared trays. Bake for 45 minutes. The meringues should be dry all over and lift off the paper easily.

    Cool on a wire rack before transferring to an airtight container (they will keep well for a couple of weeks).

    Serve with whipped cream, fruit and berry or chocolate sauce, if desired.

I luv merengue

10 minutes to put in SUGAR! Turned out great though.

Perfect…. Thankyou for making these so easy to understand.
My first attempt and I’m so proud of these, perfect easy to follow instructions

Great recipe. Excellent result

I made them really small and they came out perfect with minimal mess.

Perfect! Kids love them especially when I made some little pink ones!

OMG this recipe is so good.

First time I used this recipe I did it for a friends birthday dinner - had to rush out the door to go pick up a surprise guest for the party from the airport and when I got home - oven had turned off, the pav had cooled down and it was beautiful. Got rave compliments throughout the evening. Thank you so much Chelsea.

Rubbish. Turned out gross and wet.

Rubbish. Turned out gross and wet.

I must have made them to big as they were not fully cooked through. Came out more like mini pavs. Good recipe but would be better if the size was more specific.

cool

Love this recipe, everything you expect from a meringue, crisp on the outside and soft and chewy in the inside, lovely sandwiched together with clotted cream.

love it.
It's quick easy and works out really well.
nice and crisp.

Second time...
SoOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOD
100000/10

Have used this recipe and always worked well

LOVE THIS best recipe EVER so AMAZING

Amazing i loved this recipe it made awesome bushes for my cake! :D

Good

This recipe worked great! They were perfectly crispy on the outside and a little bit spongey on the inside. This was my first time making meringues and this recipe made it so easy. Just remember to whip the egg whites and THEN put the sugar in (we put them both in at the same time and it wasn't as fluffy. I am definitely going -to make these again! We also used peppermint extract and strawberry extract instead of different colours. THIS IS THE BEST RECIPE OUT THERE ❤️

Amazing

It turned out beautifully, they were delicious. Thanks for the recipe.

After I put all the ingredients in, it didn’t seem that thick to hold. I have done heaps of meringues and it was a bit thicker so I don’t know what happened.

I absolutely love this recipe definitely one of my favourites!

I made half a mix and there were heaps, it was a tad sweet next time I will cut the sugar back a little.

Love this recipe, they were so yum and they batch MAKES SO MUCH!!

Absolutely delicious. Thanks for the recipe x

Works fine with regular sugar. I definitely halve the mix as well.

hi, I have a question, do u have to use caster sugar? can I just use normal sugar?
Chelsea Sugar:
For best results we advise using Chelsea Caster Sugar. The fine crystal of Chelsea Caster Sugar dissolve easily and is ideal for meringues.

Made these, love them but they make so many!!! Made half into meringues and made a pink pavlova with the leftovers!! 14yr old sister loved them!

tried it for the first time today
worked a treat!! (excuse the pun)
thank you soooo much!! I loved it! I will use it again and again!
Delicious!

ima pro

I am not sure if I like it.

Tip: I used a soup spoon to get the desired shape and size for my event. Also, instead of halving the batch for the different colours, I found it easier just to make 2 separate batches.

Amazing, Perfect, Brilliant.
They were the best ever it was the first time I had ever made meringues. We served them with cream and cooked plums, yum!

Great recipe love it

good

I had heaps of fun baking these with my little sister! It's a really good recipe that even the younger children can help with!

I have a similar recipe which is my fall back especially for kids. But I only use 2 egg whites, half a cup of castor sugar and no vinegar. I make in the evening putting the oven up to 180 then turning it off when I put the meringues in and leave them there over night. Makes about 30. Fun to play around with different essences and colourings. Strawberry and pink, almond with choc chips for adults, sprinkled with 100 s and thousands etc.

super easy to make, and came out perfectly. i had never made them before :D

ok but not perfect.
