They don't rise cutezie. They are as high as you pile the mixture up before baking them.

I just made a pav cutezie, mine is same size as when it went in oven, my problem is mine seems to be all soft and wobbly like a jelly, will turn oven off and leave to rest see if that hardens it up. Maybe we should both leave the pavs to the experts.lol

I trace a 20cm circle on baking paper and pile the pav mixture within that circle.As herself said,they don't rise,so if you spread out the mixture you will get a low pav! Just plonk the cream and fruit on top,it will be fine.
Merry Christmas.

Wondering if my wobbly pav will get any crunch! Seems to be a huge blob of marshmellow!

Hint: First one; Make sure it is thoroughly beaten before pouring onto tray.
Second one; If you want a wee bit of extra height, use the outer of a Ring clip type round baking tin, pour it all into the this tin outer, smooth top, lift of the outer ring and straight into oven. Gets a smooth allround sides as well.
Cheers and Merry Christmas.

They dont "rise" as such. The trick is to beat as much air into the meringue to make it light. I make mine in a springofrm tin which works well,

I am the worlds worst cook and I can do pav. Beat till very stiff, forms peaks. Make sure you don't get any egg yoke, seaparate eggs in a different container one by one and tip in just in case. Pile up. They do not rise. My recipe you cook on high ten minutes then turn off leave in oven for ages.

You may have spread it out, in too larger circle. It will gain height with the cream and fruit. If it has a bit of marshmallow, is not weeping I am sure everyone will love it.
