Method

1. Heat oven to 150°C and line a tray with baking paper, drawing a 22cm circle as a guide.
2. Whisk the egg whites to soft peaks, then gradually add the sugar, whisking well between additions, until thick and glossy.
3. Fold in the cornflour, vinegar and vanilla.
4. Spread onto the circle, building up the sides slightly higher than the centre.
5. Place in the oven and immediately reduce the temperature to 120°C. Bake for 75 minutes, then turn off the oven and leave to cool completely inside with the door ajar.
6. Top with whipped cream and fresh fruit just before serving.
