Line a large baking tray with a sheet of baking paper. In a large, clean bowl, whisk the egg whites until they form stiff peaks.

Fold in the wine vinegar and cornflour.2. Spread the meringue into a circle, about 23cm in diameter, on the lined baking tray. Bake for 1 hour, then switch off the oven and leave the pavlova inside to cool completely.3. Whip the cream in a bowl to soft peaks, then spread over the top of the meringue.
