you can replace the icing sugar with 1 & 1/4 c castor sugar. Just use the same method. It works and I find the taste is a lot nicer. The sugar dissolves too.

ha ha wish I'd seen this earlier. My pav is very flat AGAIN! ! ! So annoying! ! ! So with this you just throw everything in at the same time?

And I was soooooooooo excited because this year I got to use my Kenwood mixer instead of beating with a hand mixer (not electric) and it's still flat! ! ! ! !

Correction . . I have been trying to make pavs without an electric mixer and they failed miserably. Flat and very leaky! !

tats I make this all the time. Just make sure that your water is boiling hot and as a rule I make sure I beat the mixture for 2 or 3 minutes before adding the hot water. Make sure you beat it for 15 minutes on almost full speed. Pile up high. Mine has not failed yet and I have even made the same recipe with castor sugar the same way and it is still perfect. It cracks however but does not go flat.
May be the eggs need to be fresh. I guess mine always are because they don't last long enough. I really just let my Kenwood rip when I am doing this for 15 minutes.

The trick is all in the beating, you must beat on high for a min of 10 minutes and add the sugar slowly not all at once, this helps to disolve it too... mine have never failed yet.

tinkagirl l have done the usual pav recipes and added the sugar spoonful by spoonful but this one you put everything in and it does work and it was nice and thick and worked well just like the usual one l make but without me standing over it

l found that when my egg whites didn't fluff up it was because there was some oily film still in my mixing bowl so now before l do egg whites l cut a lemon and rub all over the bowl and then wash out with hot water and l have never had any problems with them not fluffing up well l use old eggs or l have even robbed the hens and they have all worked well as long as my bowl is clean

Why stand over the mixer, that is where you can make that bored decision to cut the mixer off too soon
With this recipe, the viegar, corn flour, and icing sugar goes in at the start so simple, once the boiling water goes in , set the timer for 15 minutes. . It has never let me down.
