How To Make italian lady fingers savoiardi
-
Step 1Separate eggs into two separate bowls.
-
Step 2Beat egg whites on high speed until foamy.
-
Step 3Add two tablespoons of the 2/3 cup of sugar to the egg whites. Continue to beat until stiff peaks form, and set aside.
-
Step 4In a separate bowl, add vanilla and remainder of the sugar to the egg yolks and beat. Set aside
-
Step 5Sift together the flour and baking powder. Fold half of the egg whites into the yolks also adding zest if you'd like.. Do it real gently.
-
Step 6Fold the flour mixture into the yolks.
-
Step 7Fold the rest of the egg whites into the yolks.
-
Step 8Put the batter into a pastry bag. ( I use a a ziploc bag with the corner snipped off.)
-
Step 9Pipe the batter onto parchment paper lined cookie sheets.
-
Step 10Dust the piped dough with powdered sugar. (optional)
-
Step 11Bake for about 6 minutes. Stay close because all you want is the edges to turn lightly brown.
-
Step 12Dust with additional powdered sugar if you'd like.
