Savoiardi (Italian Ladyfingers) image

This is a basic recipe for Italian ladyfingers, the base of many desserts. I searched and searched but could never find these in the store, so I developed my own recipe and they turned out great. These are also nice to dunk in tea or coffee. Not to sweet. Prep can be a little messy, but is worth it. Enjoy!

Time 1h

Yield 24 cookies, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

5 egg whites
4 egg yolks
2/3 cup sugar
1 dash vanilla
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup all-purpose flour

Steps:

  • Separate eggs into two separate bowls, making sure not to get ANY yolk into the bowls containing the whites.
  • Beat egg whites on high speed until foamy.
  • Add two tablespoons of the 2/3 cup of sugar to the egg whites and continue to beat until stiff peaks form, and set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, Add vanilla and the rest of the sugar to the egg yolks and beat until pale yellow, set aside.
  • Sift together the flour and baking powder together (I didn't want to dirty another bowl so I sifted onto a piece of waxed paper).
  • Gently fold half of the egg whites into the yolks.
  • Fold the flour mixture into the yolks.
  • Fold the rest of the egg whites into the yolks.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Load batter into a pastry bag with a wide tip, or a ziploc bag with the corner snipped off.
  • Pipe onto a greased cookie sheet in any shape you'd like (traditionally, they are shaped like fingers, about as wide as your pointer and middle finger put together).
  • Bake for 6 minutes, or until edges are just golden brown.

These ladyfingers are the perfect base for any layered dessert. They're sturdy enough to hold up to the weight of the other ingredients, but they're also delicate and flavorful.

I've tried many ladyfinger recipes, but this one is by far the best. The ladyfingers are crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside.
