A simple and classic recipe for homemade ladyfingers, light and airy sponge cookies perfect for desserts like tiramisu or enjoyed as a delicate snack. Made with just eggs, sugar, flour, and baking powder, these ladyfingers are easy to whip up quickly and bake to perfection.

Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 3 eggs, separated
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup sugar

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder

Instructions

  1. Separate Eggs: Carefully separate the egg yolks and whites into two different bowls to prepare for beating.
  2. Beat Egg Yolks: Beat the egg yolks until they become pale and creamy, which should take about 5 minutes. Set aside once done.
  3. Beat Egg Whites: Beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Then add the sugar and salt gradually and continue beating until the mixture turns glossy and thick.
  4. Combine Mixtures: Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the yolks along with the baking powder and flour, using a spatula to preserve the airiness of the batter.
  5. Pipe Batter: Transfer the batter into a piping bag fitted with a large round nozzle tip. Pipe the batter onto a baking sheet in 3-inch long strips.
  6. Bake: Bake the piped ladyfingers in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden and cooked through.
  7. Cool: Allow the ladyfingers to cool completely on the pan before removing them to ensure they hold their shape.

Notes

  • Ensure the egg whites are whipped properly for a light and airy texture.
  • Use a gentle folding technique to keep the batter fluffy.
  • Piping the batter makes uniform ladyfingers, but you may also use a spoon if a piping bag is not available.
  • Cool completely before storing to maintain crispness.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
