Classic Ladyfingers
Ingredients
  • 4 eggs, separated
  • 2/3 cup white sugar, divided
  • 7/8 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
1
Acquire all necessary components.
2
Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (that's 205 degrees Celsius for those using the metric system).
3
Cover two large trays measuring 17 by 12 inches with parchment paper.
4
Prepare a large piping device by inserting a plain round tube of 1/2-inch diameter into it.
5
In a large container, combine egg whites and whisk them vigorously with an electric mixer until they begin to thicken and hold soft peaks.
6
Add 2 tablespoons of sugar to the egg whites and continue whisking until they become stiff, shiny, and glossy.
7
In a separate bowl, mix egg yolks with the remaining sugar until they become thick and pale in color.
8
Combine half of the egg whites with the egg yolk mixture; sift in flour and baking powder, then fold in the remaining egg whites until everything is well combined.
9
Transfer the mixture to a prepared piping device. Pipe long, thin "fingers" in rows spaced about 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets.
10
Bake in your preheated oven until firm to the touch and just golden, taking about 8 minutes.
