Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Sift together the flour, half of the sugar and the salt, three times.
3. Beat the egg whites until stiff and gradually beat in the remaining sugar. Beat the egg yolks until thick and lemon-colored and fold, with the vanilla, into the egg-white mixture. Sift the flour mixture, a third at a time, over the eggs and fold in carefully.
4. Line ungreased baking sheets with unglazed paper. Press the batter through a pastry bag onto the paper, or shape with a spoon into strips about four inches by three-quarter inches.
5. Bake 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the paper with a spatula and cool on a rack.
