3 eggs, separated
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 cup plus 1/3 cup sugar, divided
3 tablespoons water
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon lemon extract
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
Confectioners' sugar
In a small bowl, beat egg whites and cream of tartar until foamy. Gradually add
1/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating on high until stiff glossy peaks
form and sugar is dissolved, about 6 minutes; set aside. In another bowl, beat
egg yolks with remaining sugar for 3 minutes or until thick and lemon colored;
add water and extracts. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; stir into yolk
mixture. Fold in egg white mixture. Cut a small hole in the corner of a pastry
or plastic bag; insert round tip #12. Spoon batter into bag. Pipe 3-1/2-in.-long
lines 2 in. apart onto a greased and floured baking sheet. Bake at 350°
