Personally I think it depends on the oven, it was the only sort I could make until I replaced the oven. no more chewy centre, instead I make the same recipe and end up with crispy shell and soft marshmallow type centre :-(

I've experimented a little and I think if you turn it to 160c to begin with - for the first 30 minutes and then reduce it to 140c, you're more likely to get something chewy. However, I can't promise anything sorry. I've had mixed results.

My marshmallow centre and crispy outside recipe is all ingredients added together and beaten for 15 minutes, can't really be bothered adding sugar etc etc.

Crispy Chewy Pav. Old recipe so its a sugar hit lol. Pre heat oven to 130c. 2 small cups sugar 2 egg whites at room temperature. 1 teaspoon baking powder 4 tablespoons boiling water 2 teaspoons vinegar 1 teaspoon cornflour. Put egg whites vinegar sugar in a bowl, sit in sink with some hot water till sugar is melted. Add BOILING water and beat with electric mixer till stiff and glossy fold in B/powder, cornflour. Place on greaseproof paper on a tray Bake 130c 1 hour turn oven off leave to cool overnight door shut. Freezes well.

I believe the secret is in the beating! Your mixture must be beaten until all sugar is dissolved! In short, taste/feel and nothing gritty! Pile high on the oven tray, cook for 5 approx. minutes, round 160 deg then turn oven down to round 100 and leave at least an hour. I have an old Kenwood, always gave it credit and now my son also has one he is making Pav's for family and friends with same great results! Admit itching to try Annabel Langbeins with soft brown sugar replacing some of the caster sugar! Anyone tried?
