Seperti yang di janjikan, tayangan perdana of step-by step instruction of making pavlova. When people ask me what does pavlova taste like, I really don't know how to describe it apart from that it's sweet (too sweet for some people!) with crispy and brittle outer layer with a very soft fluffy marshmallowy centre. It's basically meringue but in a bigger form and softer in the middle. And very low in fat for anyone who's conscious of their fat intake (but high in sugar!) so still not a healthy dessert especially after you've topped it with whipped cream. But the fresh fruits on top of the pavlova is definitely healthy, hehehehe... :-).


Pavlova


Ingredients:

-4 large (59g/ size A) eggs at room temperature, separated (asingkan the yolk from the white)
-1 cup caster sugar (gula halus)- kalau tak nak manis boleh kurang kan to 3/4 cup
-3 teaspoons cornflour
-1 tbsp (20 mls) white vinegar (cuka masak biasa tu)


-With Pavlova and meringue in general, perkara yang paling penting is to make sure masa you asingkan putih and kuning telur tu, the mixing bowl is completely clean and dry. Kalau ada setitik air pun dalam mixing bowl tu, the egg whites takkan become fluffy masa kita pukul nanti. And also, make sure takde sikit pun kuning telur yang tercampur dalam egg whites tu or else it wont aerate. So, banyak jugak lah pantang larang nya, hehehehe....

-Then beat the egg whites using electric mixer (Kalau you ada lengan macam Popeye then you can use hand whisk) until soft peaks formed.


-Then add the caster sugar 1 tablespoon at a time and beat until sugar's dissolved and the mixture looks white and glossy and the egg white mixture has formed firm peaks.

Ini rupa the mixture after half of the sugar's been added to the egg white.

Ini rupa after all the sugar's been added and dissolved and firm peaks formed. Kalau terlangkupkan the bowl masa ni, the egg white mixture takkan tertumpah keluar (memang betul tak tipu cos I've tried, hahahaha).

-Then add the corflour and the vinegar to the egg white mixture.

- Then fold the cornflour and the vinegar gently into the mix.

- Then put the mixture on a tray lined with baking paper. Ratakan jadi cantik and gunakan butter knife to make the grooves along the sides.The reason for this is supaya the sides tak pecah2 after baking.

- Then bake it in an 140- 150 C oven. Temperature dia tak boleh tinggi sangat or else the outside will be burnt but the inside tak masak lagi. Bake it for about 50 minutes. Then turn off the oven but leave the pavlova inside the oven with the oven door ajar until the oven is really cool. This helps the outside layer to become crispy and the inside to stay moist.

This is how it looks like after dah sejuk.

- Then you can decorate it with whipped cream and whatever soft fruits you like.


This is what's left of our pavlova after the Little Misses and the other half had a 'bite' of it :-).


Now, you can hear what the 'food critics' say about the pavlova..... ( Sila abaikan what the other half said at the end of the clip ok! That is so NOT true :-)). Haa....Haa...Haa..... But memang pun the Little Misses had to 'berlakon' under duress. They said to me, "we just want to eat the pavlova Mummy, pleasssseee........." . I wouldn't let them eat the pav until they've said something tu yg macam kena paksa aje, hahahahahaha..... Memang tak boleh jadi actresses like Maya Karin lah the Little Misses ni!

lemongrass said...

Ana,
wahkahkah sian Jiya....Kain kat rumah ni mmng berlambak belum dilipat, bolehlah dia tolong lipatkan ye :P. Tapi kambing n kucing kena beli dulu lah baru dia boleh tolong gembala,wahhahaha. Akak pakai hand mixer aje sbb malas nak keluarkan mixer besar. Jadi jugak :-)

Azah,
I tak rajin sgt masak pavlova ni tp my family mmng suka mkn so tu yg kena jugak buat once in a while :-). Hero tu tension sbb tak kena pilih jadi pelakon utama, tu yg dia saje2 aje bagi suara dia masuk dlm video tu, hahahahaha....

Ita,
untung lah u ye sbb tak payah kena masak dessert slalu :-). Kat rumah ni klu manis semua suka, tu yg stok coklat mesti aje ada kat rumah ni :-).

Aymy With L♥ve said...

K min.. meleleh air liur nengok pavlova tu.. boh kiwi n pineapple boleh tak? hehehe..pepandai jer daku nie...

lemongrass said...

Masz,
Alya tu 'tensen' sbb nak makan pavlova pun tak senang,siap kena suruh berlakon lagi sebelum dpt ngap, hahahaha.. Manager tu patut kena pecat lah sbb tak train pelakon bawah dia betul2, hehehehe

Fiza,
pi lah suruh Masz buat pastu u gi lah ngendeng2 kat rumah dia, surenya dia bagi sikit nanti :-), hahaha

Dya,
I dah gi yr blog,so seronok bila ada orang nak try my recipe, thanks ye!

Aymy,
orang sini slalu letak kiwi tu, tp pineapple tu tak pernah pulak tengok. But maybe sedap kot, cubalah ;-) hehehe

Cikmin said...

LG..i teringin nak wat menda ni..td g tesco..i dpt segala buah2 tu..dpt gak whipped cream yg light punyer,,xla manis sgt...i nak tanyer...bila dah baked..tgglkan dulu lam oven..pintu nyer kena tutup or buka?eeeee...dah terang step by step pun..ada gak yg cikmin x jelas ni...

Kasut But Ceri Merah said...

kak LG.. serius best nye tgk resepi kali nie. details! nasib baik gee takde oven kat umah, kalo tak.. sekarang gak gee buat tawww :)
tapi ingt nak gak lah beli oven... teringin nak masak2 camnie :)

nj said...

LG...alahai....ni nak kena cuba ni..tapi takut 'terkucil' tak jadi...satu norma nak tanya...bakar tanpa guna loyang ke?...I mean just form the pavlova structure just like that?? challenging tul la recipe ni...
thank you for sharing...

Nurul said...

hye sis LG :)
it turned out to be very nice. eventho xde whipped cream and we only had fruit cocktails as the topping it was very yummy. nk habiskan pun sayang coz i have to wait till next holiday to bake this again ;P

lemongrass said...

Cik Min,
A'ah, betul lah tu. Lepas dah bake, kita switch off the oven, pastu biarkan pavlova tu sejuk dlm oven. Tapi kena bukak sikit pintu oven, jgn bukak habis.Ini supaya the outer layer jadi crispy...

Gee,
hehehe, dah ada orang mintak recipe details kan so akak bagilah. Belilah oven tu sbb best jugak ada oven ni, boleh buat bakar ayam, buat lasagna, pasta bake, yumm!! :-).

Norma,
A'ah, betul tu, tak payah guna loyang sbb egg white mmng dah 'keras' and bila kita masak jadi lagi keras lapisan luar nya. I pun dulu masa first time nak buat, mmng rasa seriau aje sbb mcm komplex sgt pulak nya but once dah buat a few times n jadi, ok lah :-)

Dya,
glad u liked it. Lah sian nya u kena tunggu sampai next holiday, tp nak buat mcm mana kan, dah student so kenalah tunggu holiday ye :-)

Unknown said...

salam LG, minta izin nak c&p resepi dan gbr bole tak?

lemongrass said...

hi fkriah,
boleh aje :-)

iu rf said...

hi kak.. slalu dtg cni.. suke ngan blog akak..hihi..

da try resipi ni 2x..mmg soo yummyy.. ;-) tp nk tanya.. pas baked tu dier akan kempis yek? mcm rata aje.. ( takla rata sgt..hehe)

sy wat rasa cam da ok..cume rupe aje tak mcm yg akak nye.. geseng2 sket ala2 yg cam hana wat.. mmg gitu ke..?

tq

lemongrass said...

Hi IU,
mmng pavlova ni lepas bake slalu nya runtuh sikit.Mcm2 tips orang bagi supaya jgn runtuh tp bila akak buat mcm mana pun, sure akan runtuh sikit. Maybe akak kena edit recipe tu sikit lah turunkan the suhu oven jadi 120- 130C so tak geseng.Sbb ada recipe yg guna very low suhu but so far akak guna 140 - 150 ok aje. Next time u cuba buat, try the 120-130 ye :-).

iu rf said...

wokehhh!! tq kak! muahhhss..

JieJ said...

Kak LG..asalnya nak cari resepi pavlova kak LG ni, nak try buat lah katanya..heheh..tapi at the end post ni, ada pulak video attached..heheh..suka tengok dorang little misses..copy dulu ayat si miss 8 "delicious melicious"..hehe..comel betul.

hwa siang said...

C.Anuar said...

Akak.. Oven tu api atas bawah kene bukak ke or just gune bwh je??
