Sponge Drops

Beat three eggs lightly, add three-fourths of a cup of granulated sugar, one heaping cup of flour sifted with one teaspoon of cream of tartar and one-half teaspoon of soda (or one heaping teaspoon of baking powder). Flavor with one teaspoon of lemon extract. Drop in teaspoons, three inches apart, on buttered tins. Bake in a quick oven. It is safe to bake one cake as a trial to see if the mixture needs any more flour. The cakes should spread in the oven, and they ought to be about one-half inch thick when baked.
