Beat the butter, granulated sugar and vanilla sugar to an airy
mixture. Add the egg yolks and mix to a homogeneous mass.
Put the mixer at low speed and add the flour and the milk in
small quantities at the same time. The result must be a well
mixed dough.
Beat the egg whites stiffly and carefully fold them through the
dough.
Pour the preparation into a buttered baking tin and put it in a
preheated oven at 185°C for 35 minutes.
Allow to cool to room temperature before serving.
