Lady Fingers
Ingredients
  • 4 eggs
  • 2/3 cup white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. To prepare, line three baking sheets with parchment paper for an even distribution of heat.
2
To create a pastry bag, attach a size 6 tip to the end. This will help in shaping and decorating the final product.
3
Separate the eggs into two distinct groups. In one bowl, whisk together egg yolks and 1/2 of the sugar until well combined. Add vanilla to the mixture and continue whisking until it becomes light in color, taking approximately 5 minutes.
4
In another clean bowl, beat the egg whites until they form soft peaks. During this process, slowly add salt and remaining sugar to the mixture until fully incorporated.
5
Gently fold the egg whites into the egg yolk mixture using a gentle, sweeping motion.
6
In a separate action, sift flour over the egg mixture and fold it in using a light touch.
7
Divide the batter into two equal parts, filling one half of the pastry bag with each portion. Pipe 3 1/2 inch long fingers, spaced 1 1/2 inches apart in rows on the parchment paper. Continue with the second half of the batter, following the same pattern.
8
Bake in a preheated oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for approximately 15 minutes, or until firm to the touch and golden brown. Remove the parchment paper and fingers from the baking sheet, placing them on racks to cool completely.
9
Once cooled, carefully remove the fingers from the parchment paper and use or store them between layers of wax paper in an airtight container. These can be frozen for later use.
