Question

Can I use lemon juice instead of vinegar in pavlova?

Answer 1

acid - you can use 1/2 teaspoon of cream of tartar or 1 teaspoon white, apple cider vinegar, or even lemon juice. the pavlova will not taste like vinegar, i promise. the acid helps the egg whites hold onto air and, like the sugar, helps prevent the egg whites from collapsing.
