Oven should be pre-heated to 180 Celcius or 350 Fahrenheit. Put the pavlova into the centre of the oven. Do not open the oven door. Leave the pavlova in the oven as it is cooling, for an hour. Serve covered in whipped cream and slices of fruit.
Traditional fruit are kiwifruit and strawberries.
Don't worry if the meringue type outside of the pavlova cracks as this will be covered in cream when you serve the pavlova. Cool on a wire rack and sift a little icing sugar on top when cold. Add cold butter. Cut and rub it into the flour until the mixture is about the consistency of rolled oats. Pour all the milk at once, into a well in the middle of the dry ingredients.
