Preheat the oven to 140°C. Grease a baking tray. Mark a 23cm circle on a sheet of baking paper. Place the paper, marked-side down on the baking tray.

Gradually add the sugar and continue whisking for 10 minutes, or until the sugar dissolves and the egg whites are thick and glossy.

Spoon the meringue onto the prepared baking tray, using the marking as a guide, shape the side into a dome.

Bake for 1 hour, or until the pavlova is dry and crisp.
