You can get a nice, high pav by baking it in a springform tin - works a treat.

we made one of these yesterday.....surprisingly easy and it came out looking great. sadly when we ate it it has a really strong eggy taste and the kids said tastes like farts and i agree. we wont be trying it again and maybe my dad was rigth all those years ago...you get what you pay for/easy isn't always better

I dont think 1 cup sugar, 3 egg whites, H20, 3tps cornflour and pinch of salt would cost anywhere near $3...plus you know it's a 'real pav'!

Does it take a lot of beating as I don't own an electric beater? Thanks

biggyrat didn't have much luck with a handbeater.. I tried to make a 'normal' pav once with a hand beater when I was flatting, it didn't work :-)

There is no way this is cheaper than making your own - especially seen as how you are adding the sugar yourself.My pav has 4 egg white, sugar and a couple of other things - probably cost between $1.50 and 2.00 to make.

its good to know we were not alone in the fact it didn't taste so good. we usually make our own pav's but my 16 yr old son saw the packet and asked if he could buy it and make it and I thought wow a boy wanting to make a pav, hell yeah i'll say yes lol but maybe we might make our own next time and i'll get him involved so he sees how easy it is.

just my immediate thoughts , in response to rebeccas comment about how little suger she added......the first ingredient bcnd listed as per the packaging was sugar, -so am thinking there is way more sugar than you think ,as they are listed in order of amount. Would be interesting to know what the TOTAL amount is,once the extra sugar is added at home. I looked at it too in the supermarlet,as the packaging is so jolly cute....but put it down, just another processed thing at the end of the day.

Hmmm, the only time I made a pav mum's electric beaters crapped out halfway through (they were old and I think I overheated them - thought I killed them but they came back to live eventually!) and I had to finish it by hand with a balloon whisk. It actually came out great - had a bloody sore arm though!

I've made one of these as I got it as a sample.
I wasn't overly fussed as I found it quite sickly sweet.The kids loved it though and it did turn out nice and large.
