6 whites of eggs.
1½ cup sugar.
½ cup butter.
½ cup milk.
2½ cups flour.
1 teaspoonful cream of tartar.
½ teaspoonful soda.
1 teaspoonful vanilla.
Sift first, then warm the sugar as directed before, and cream
thoroughly with the butter and add vanilla while doing this. If you
wish, you may add a little violet flavoring, as it improves it. Put
the soda in the flour and sift three or four times. Then add it and
the milk to the creamed butter and sugar and mix well. Beat the whites
a little, then add the cream of tartar and beat until stiff; then mix
them with the other ingredients, and bake in a deep pan in a moderate
oven, and will require from forty-five to sixty minutes.
