Then boil gently until mixture spins a 2 inch thread (232º F). Beat 8 egg yolks until thick and lemon colored. Pour hot syrup over egg yolks, beating constantly. Add 1½ cups sifter flour gradually and 1 teaspoon of salt. Beat for 2 minutes (With electric mixer blend at lowest speed, then beat at medium speed for same time.) In a separate bowl beat 8 egg whites until foamy. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon cream of tartar over whites and continue beating until very stiff, but not dry. Fold into egg yolk mixture. Blend in 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon grated lemon rind.
Pour into ungreased 10 - inch tube pan. Cut through batter gently with knife to break large air bubbles. Bake in a moderate oven (350º F) for 40 to 45 minutes. Cool in inverted pan about 1 hour. |

Notes: This recipe was submitted by Richard T Warnecke, Sharon's son. I Googled this recipe as it was a photo copy of the $1,000 winners from a Pillsbury Bake Off and I was curious as to what year. I learned that this was a winning recipe from Pillsbury's very first Bake-Off in 1949! Back then it was known as the Grand National Recipe and Baking Contest.
