My pavlova tasted like cooked eggs - gross what did I do wrong?

[Danielle_NZ]

I whip until they peak... meaning to me that when I turn the whisk / beater over the peak from where the egg whites left the bowl is still pointing up

This might be a dumb question, but did anyone else think the pav was eggy???

Just wondering if it might be a case of pregnancy taste buds!!??

hehe, nah my hubby tasted it too and commented on it. I now can see that I didnt whip the eggs for long enough!!!

The correct ratio is 1/4 castor sugar per egg and be sure to add the sugar slowly as you're whipping it to ensure it dissolves properly also I have found that adding all the other wet ingredients at the beginning helps.

The eggs are whipped enough when you can turn the bowl upside down

Hope this helps
