Preparation

Step 1

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place flour and salt in a sieve set over a bowl; sift into bowl, and set aside. With a mixer, beat egg whites on medium-high until foamy, about 1 minute. Add cream of tartar; beat until soft peaks form. Continue to beat, gradually adding sugar; beat until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes. Add vanilla; beat to combine.

Gently transfer egg-white
mixture to a large,
wide bowl. In four batches,
using the sieve again,
sift flour mixture over
egg-white mixture. While
turning the bowl, use
a rubber spatula to fold in
the mixture by cutting
down the center and coming
up the sides.
