Angel Food Recipe ingredients

To prepare this Angel Food Recipe, first 1 1/2 cupfuls of granulated sugar, 1 level cupful of flour, whites of 11 eggs, 1 level teaspoonful of cream of tartar, 1 teaspoonful of vanilla, and a pinch of salt. Spread 2 square papers on your table and place your sieve upon one of them. Have ready some sifted flour and put 1 level cupful in your sieve; to this add the sugar, cream of tartar, and salt, and sift through upon the paper. Place the empty sieve upon the other paper, pour the mixture into it, and so sift back and forth from one paper to the other five or six times. Then beat the whites of the eggs to a stiff froth; pour the flour mixture into it from the paper, gradually but quickly, stirring lightly just enough to moisten all the flour; a few strokes will suffice, then turn at once into an ungreased tin with a tube in it, and bake about forty-five minutes. Success depends largely upon the baking. A slow, gradual heat is best, but only care and practice will make perfect.
