Lady Fingers

5 tablespoons powdered sugar

½ teaspoon vanilla

3 egg-whites

½ cup flour

2 egg-yolks

¼ teaspoon salt

Add the powdered sugar to the stiffly beaten egg-whites. Add to these the two well-beaten yolks and the vanilla extract. Fold in the flour, which has been sifted twice with the salt. Line a pan with paper but do not grease it. Press the batter through a pastry bag on to it, forming strips four inches long and one inch wide. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and bake in a moderate oven (350° F.) for ten minutes.
