In our homeschool, we studied New Zealand last month. One of their famous desserts is pavlova. It is made by whipping egg whites and sugar until it is light and fluffy and then baking it in the oven. The result is a marshmallow like center with a crispy outside. It is rather sweet but tasty when combined with whipped cream and fresh berries. The little pastry chefs and I had fun combining ingredients, using the stand mixer, spreading it into the pan and watching it bake. They also made the whipped cream, and assembled their own parfaits.
While cracking our eggs on the first attempt, a little bit of yolk got in. It didn't whip up nicely but rather stayed flat and soupy. We tried again with fresh clean egg whites and the meringue did whip up fluffy.
