Tips/Hints:

This pavlova is made with the addition of boiling water,  added to the mix in the bowl..   It is best cooked in a cake tin with a removable base.    Photos to follow !  I have been making this for years,  but this time made just 1/2 the recipe as the full recipe feed 12 easily.   

4 egg whites
1 teasp. of corn flour
1 teasp. vinegar
1 teasp of vanilla
1 1/2 cups of caster sugar
4 Tablespoons of boiling water
Set oven at 160
In bowl of THM with butterfly place all the ingredients except the water.
Set time for 15 mins,  and turn on speed to 4.
Immediately pour in the 4 Tablespoons of boiling water,  and beat for 15 mins.

Prepare cake tin by spraying with Canola oil.  place tin on oven tray.
After 15 mins.  ( the mix will still be very slack),  pour into tin.
Cook in oven at 160 for 15 mins.,  turn oven down to  125 and cook for another 1 hour and 45 mins.
Remove from oven and cool.   Run a knife around edge and remove side of tin,  leave on base.
Cover and fill as required.

This does not give as much marshmellow in the center as the conventional method,  but I feel a satisfactory amount.
I will experiment a little more and see if I can improve this   I would like the hear some feed back,  and any innovations.

This sounds rather good Chookie. I don't like my pavlova too soft, I like them crunchy so this may be the perfect one.

Good work Chookie - like an Italian meringue pav recipe that was in a WW mag when I was young - yes, they did have them in ancient times.

Better invite Amanda for tea tomorrow to help with the photos and eat the pav.  Yes this  1/2 recipe, although the original has 6 egg whites and double every thing else..  It keeps well for 2 days unfilled.  JD, dried tomatoes would be great,  with a bit of garlic cooked a little in oil...Bacon and cheese inside would be nice also.

LOL Chookie - think that must have been a reply to a Private Message - can't see garlic, cheese and bacon going with pav?

You're not alone, but your miles (kilometres) ahead of many.  ;) :-* :-* :-* :-*

Chookie - I'll put the pics here as well - if you don't want them on here then let me know and we can delete them - some people get upset easily if there photos are copied.

They look great

Thermomixer,  I don't mind you shifting the photos around.   Amanda thought that to post them on my Blog ,  with a link to the Forum,  might be the easier option for me.   ( I think she realizes what an idiot I am.)    I'm going to have to continue to bribe her with TMX dinners because I am a long way from being able to confidently post photos.  Please continue to keep an eye on me and make whatever changes you think necessary.   All greatly appreciated.

When you say that this pav is not too marshmallowy, do you think it would work as small meringues? I tried to make a simple meringue recipe last week and it was a disaster (so I followed the suggestion in the cookbook, added almonds and made little biscuits instead). I have some more egg whites to use up and was hoping to try again

AnneUK,  I think it would work as meringues.  I would leave them in the oven (turned off)  to dry them out..    A friend,  who is a professional cook,  suggested leaving out the vinegar, . as most people like the crust rather than the marshmellow
