Another dumb pavlova question!

I'm really not having much luck today and should probably just give up. If you don't have cornflour, can you just use flour!

NO! Wait till tomorrow.

2 tbsp boiling water
beat all together for 20 mins until large stiff peaks form
Oil paper and put on
bake 1/2 hr 300

I have used custard powder when I'm in the mixing stage and discovered there is no cornflour in the house.Colour was more yellow and had a lovely vanilla flavour to it. needs must lol.

You can't substitute cornflour with flour. You can use equivalent of arrowroot.
