Ingredients
1 cup(s) wheat flour
3 tbsp baking powder
5 piece(s) eggs, separated whites and yolks
1 cup(s) sugar
1 tbsp vanilla
2 cup(s) homemade jam
Directions
  1. Beat the whites to snow point, with ½ cup sugar, add the 5 yolks beaten with ½ cup sugar, continue beating and add the flour mixed with baking powder.
  2. Stir everything well, perfume with vanilla and pour on a greased rectangular pan, forming a very thin layer.
  3. Bake in preheated oven at 350°, for 20 minutes.
  4. When baked, unmold onto a floured napkin, cover with jam, roll quickly and wrap tightly with the napkin; when cold, unwrap the napkin, cut the ends and sprinkle with sugar.
  5. If it's the first time making it, it's convenient to put a sheet of greased paper on the bottom of the pan to be able to unmold it easily.
  6. The paper comes off when rolling it this time on a damp napkin.
