- Preheat oven to 150 degrees C. Grease and line a 30cm x 20cm Swiss roll or lamington tin.
- Using electric mixers, beat egg whites until stiff. Gradually whisk in sugar, beat well. Fold in cornflour, vinegar and vanilla.
- Spread mixture in prepared tin. Bake for 15 minutes or until just cooked through.
- Remove from oven and allow to go cold in tin. It will shrink down when cooling. When cold turn onto a piece of sugared paper and remove the baking paper from the pavlova.
- Spread with whipped cream, sliced strawberries, sliced bananas or any fruit of your choice. Roll up like a Swiss roll. Top can be sprinkled with castor sugar or grated chocolate. Serve.

My tips are not to use a lamington tin, just spread it out on baking paper on a baking tray like you do a normal pavlova but in a long rectangle shape. Then you don't need to worry about it sticking to the sides of the pan and you can just flip it onto a surface for rolling. Also, bake it long enough to be going golden otherwise if it is undercooked it'll crack and you won't be able to roll it out. - 16 Oct 2011
Altered ingredient amounts. When rolling the pavlova after putting on the cream and fruit grab the paper and use this to start the roll, then when rolled use 2 egg slides or cake servers to lift onto serving platter. - 29 Jan 2010
I thought this was easy to prepare and easy to roll up too using the sugared paper. I made mine for Boxing Day lunch and filled it with whipped cream and chopped up canned peaches and it went down a treat! Very light and (almost too) easy to eat! - 25 Dec 2010
