2 teaspoons cornflour |
1 teaspoon white wine vinegar |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
300 ml double cream (heavy) |
2 teaspoons rose water |
375 g raspberries |
rose petal, to garnish |

1. Heat oven to 180C and cover a large baking tray with greaseproof paper.

3. Mix sugar and cornflour and fold into the egg whites inches It is best to fold the sugar in three batches. Finally stir in the vanilla and vinegar.
4. Spoon the mix onto the baking paper. make a circle 20cm in diameter and swirl the top making a few peaks for aesthetics.
5. Place meringue in the oven then turn the heat down to 150C and bake for 1 1/4 hours (it should be crisp). Turn off oven and allow pavlova to cool in oven (if possible).
