In large mixing bowl, beat egg whites, cream of tartar and salt on medium speed with wire whip attachment until foamy.
Increase speed to high and beat until egg whites have doubled in volume and thickened. About 2 minutes. Beat in remaining 3/4 c sugar a little at a time on high speed, add vanilla with last addition of sugar, until stiff and glossy meringue forms. Do not under beat.
Sprinkle sugar/ flour mixture, 1/4 cup at a time, over meringue, folding in just until mixture disappears, transfer egg white mixture to a very large bowl if necessary.
