JELLY ROLL 
You may use your favorite jam for the filling.

4 eggs, separated
3/4 cup sugar, divided
1/2 tsp. vanilla
3/4 cup sifted cake flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt

Beat egg yolks until thick and lemon colored, gradually beat in 1/4 cup sugar. Add vanilla. Beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add remaining 1/2 cup sugar and beat until stiff peaks form. Fold yolks into whites.

Sift together flour, baking powder and salt, fold into egg mixture. Spread batter evenly over greased waxed paper-lined 15x10x1-inch jelly roll pan.

Bake in moderate (375°F) oven for about 12 minutes or until done. Loosen sides, turn out on towel sprinkled with sifted confectioners' sugar. Peel off waxed paper and trim crusts.

Starting at narrow end, roll cake and towel together, cool on rack. Unroll and spread with your favorite filling, roll up and serve.

Makes ten (1-inch) slices.
