3 Gradually add sugar, one tablespoon at a time, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is thick and glossy
4 Gently fold in the cornflour and vinegar
5 Divide mixture evenly between trays and spread with the back of a spoon until they’re an even thickness
6 Bake for 50 minutes, swapping trays half way, until mixture is dry and crisp
7 Turn the oven off but leave meringues there for one hour, or until completely cooled
8 Combine berries in a large mixing bowl
9 Beat cream with electric beaters to soft peaks
10 Place one of the meringue discs onto serving plate and spread with one third of the cream
