1CupSugar
1TablespoonCorn Starch
1teaspoonLemon Juice
1TablespoonVanilla Extract

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200˚ F. Using parchment paper, draw a circle on the backside roughly 7 inches in diameter (this will act as a guide) and place it on a baking sheet.
In a separate bowl, combine sugar and corn starch.
In a mixing bowl, on medium speed, beat egg whites and lemon juice until frothy. Once eggs are frothy, turn mixer speed to medium high and gradually add in sugar.
Continue to beat eggs until shinny and stiff peaks form. Add in vanilla extract and continue to beat until egg whites no longer feel grainy from the sugar.
Pour egg whites into the center of the circle that was drawn on, and fill the entire circle.
Bake at 200 degrees for 2 hours, after 2 hours, turn off heat and allow to rest in oven for an additional 2 hours.
Before serving, crack the top by gently hitting it with a spoon and top with whipped cream and berries.
Notes
*If edges the edges of the pavlova start to brown, reduce heat to 175 degrees and continue to bake.
