Sift the powdered sugar Whisk the egg whites at medium speed in a clean dry mixing bowl When a light foam appears gradually add 2 table spoons of the powdered sugar whisking egg whites well between each addition. Put the baking mat onto the baking tray or line the tray with the parchment paper and then stagger silicone baking cups. Evenly spread a thin layer of the meringue over the baking cups. Put the meringue into the oven at 80°C for 1–1.5 hours if the meringue is spread evenly enough, or for 2.5–3 hours if the meringue layer is 3 cm or more. Let the meringue cool completely in the oven.

Legends surround the Pavlova dessert. There are hundreds of arguments who created it but the most popular one says that a hotel chef in Wellington, New Zealand, created this dessert in 1926 to treat the ballerina during her world tour.
