Preheat oven to 375º. Sift flour with ½ cup sugar 4 times. Combine egg whites, salt, cream of tartar and vanilla in large bowl. Mix at high speed until stiff, but soft, peaks form.

Sift about ¼ of flour mixture over egg whites and fold in with spatula, turning over 15 times, turning bowl frequently. Do not stir or beat.
