1 cup sifted cake flour
1 1/4 cups sugar

Heat oven to 325. Sift flour with 1/2 cup of the sugar. Repeat sifting 3 times; set aside. Beat egg whites in bowl of electric mixer until frothy. Beat in cream of tartar. Ad remaining 3/4 cup sugar gradually; beat until stiff peaks form. Sift flour and sugar mixture again over egg whites, fold in gently. Set aside.
