- I am in dire need of some info regarding Pavlovas. I sent off some EMail
- messages to authors of articles appearing here recently but have
- received no replies. As I wish to serve this dessert this coming
- Sunday the 27th, I am hoping I can get some input before then.
-
- My question concerns the possibility of making the Pavlova somewhat
- ahead of time, say the morning for serving at dinner ( in the evening ).
- Of course I don't mean to hold it dressed, but rather just the meringue
- itself.
-
- I tried one of the recipes posted here in November and it came out
- perfectly. I noticed however that it started to weep quite soon after
- preparing, which leaves me to doubt the feasibility of making it ahead.
- If there is any way that this can be done will someone please advise me
- re the technique?
-
- I noticed a recipe for meringue topping for pies which stated that it
- was weep-proof. It involved cooking corn starch (corn flour) with water
- until clear and thick and adding or folding this into the egg whites. I
- wonder if anyone has any experience with this and if the idea would work
- with pavlovas. ( my recipe did call for dry corn starch to be folded
- into the whites, 2 tsp to 3 egg whites but this did not prevent weeping).
-
- Any other discussion re pavlovas would be appreciated. I am fascinated
- by the possibilities of this dessert not to mention how easy and
- delicious (and different) it is. Thank you New Zealand.
