2 drops vinegar

Recipe



Beat the egg yolks and 3 tablespoons of the granulated sugar in a large mixer bowl until the mixture is light,thick,and forms a slowly dissolving ribbon when the beater is lifted,7 to 10 minutes. Beat the egg whites in a warmed bowl at high speed with clean beaters until foamy. Gradually beat in the remaining granulated sugar and continue beating at high speed until the peaks are stiff and shiny. Beat in the vinegar and vanilla. Sift the flour,potato starch and salt together. Fold a quarter of the egg yolks into the whites;then alternately fold the flour mixture and the egg whites into the yolks.
