DIRECTIONS: Preheat oven to 400-F.
Melt the butter and add the flour. Add the milk gradually stirring
with a wire whisk to make a thick smooth sauce. Add the sugar and
vanilla. Remove from the heat and add the egg yolks one at a time.
Beat the egg whites, with a pinch of salt and the cream of tartar,
until stiff. Fold the slightly cooled sauce into the egg whites.
