Ladyfingers Recipe 

 Packaged ladyfingers are expensive, full of preservatives and may not be easily available. Here is an easy recipe for ladyfinges which I made for tiramisu.

 Ingredients :

• all purpose flour - 1 cup
• egg yolks - 2
• egg whites - 3
• baking powder - 1/2 tsp
• corn flour - 1 tbs
• sugar - 7 tbs

 Method

  step 1 : prepare dry ingredients

• in a bowl combine together flour, corn flour and baking powder
• mix well and keep aside

  step 2 : prepare wet ingredients

    a) meringue

• in a bowl beat egg whites until frothy
• add in 4 tbs sugar and beat into stiff peaks and keep aside

  b) egg yolk mixture

• in a separate bowl combine egg yolks and sugar
• beat until thick, creamy and pale in colour

  c) combine all ingredients together

• add the egg yolk mixture into egg whites and mix gently
• sift in the dry ingredients and combine gently
• transfer this mixture into a piping bag. If you don't have one just cut the end of a Ziploc bag and use for this purpose.

 step 3 : baking

• pipe the batter onto a greased baking tray lined with baking paper
• pipe into strips, about 7 cm in length
• bake in a preheated oven at 130 degree C for 25 - 30 minutes
• when they are done let them cool
• store in an air tight container until use
