Christmas dinner is at Mister's brother's house this year and we are bringing dessert. The big question, now, is, "What to bring?" There are dietary restrictions to work around, the largest one being gluten. Wait! We have been watching the British Baking Show again and Mister remembers the Christmas Pavlova that was taught one year. Bingo! I re-watch the episode and he finds the recipe to put into Paprika for me. Off to the kitchen I go.
First thing is to take a piece of parchment paper and draw two circles on it. One is 12" and the other is 6" and inside the larger circle. Yes, it helps to center it there. I know it's not a great picture, but it's all I have.
The next thing I do is check the recipe for ingredients and discover that one is on my grocery list. Okay, change in plan. Let's get the shopping done and then return to this.
Now, I'm ready to start. Are you? Preheat the oven to 325 degrees (F).
With 6 large, room temperature eggs -- separate them CAREFULLY. Any speck of yolk in the whites will cause the meringue to be uncooperative.
