3. In a large mixer bowl, beat the egg whites, cream of tartar, and vanilla with an electric mixer on medium speed until soft peaks form. Gradually add the sugar, 2 Tablespoons at a time, beating on high speed until stiff peaks form. Transfer to a larger bowl if needed.

4. Sift about 1/4th of the flour mixture over the beaten egg whites. Fold in gently. Repeat, folding in the remaining flour mixture in fourths.
