Directions:
The whites of ten eggs, one and a half tumblers of granulated sugar, one tumbler of flour; a heaping teaspoon of cream tartar, a pinch of salt. Put through the sieve twice. Take one-half of eggs, and stir in one-half the sugar; beat until they have a gloss; then add the other half of eggs, and the rest of the sugar. Beat again; then add the flour and cream tartar. Stir up lightly. Flavor with almond.
Bake one hour in slow oven.
