100g sugar

I have been baking large Pavlovas
for a while and Marcel adores them, but... when I found the bezele (=a type of homemade meringue
treats) recipe of my Mom, I told
myself ’Why not?’. Is it not one of life’s perks to try new things? J
This is how I adapted the recipe—
Beat the egg whites; when they are
stiff, pour in the vinegar. Continue to mix, adding the sugar and the vanilla
sugar bit by bit. The cornstarch comes in at the end – it will help stabilise
the meringue.
Line a baking pan with baking
parchment. Using some round shapes (mine are 8cm wide and 4cm deep), divide the
mix into four equal parts, level, and remove the shapes – don’t worry, the
structure will hold.
Bake them for 35 minutes in the
preheated oven at 110°C (after baking, leave the meringues in the oven for 5-10
more minutes with the door slightly open; it will prevent them from cracking).
When they are completely cooled,
beat the sour cream/whipping cream with the sugar and use the final result to
decorate the meringues; add the blueberries on top.
Enjoy them and good luck sharing
the fourth mini-Pavlova if your family includes three persons!
