    STEP 1

    How to make lady fingers cookies for tiramisu? Prepare your food. From this amount of products you will get a lot of cookies, about four 30*40 baking sheets, I prepared half a portion. It is just enough for a standard portion of tiramisu.

  2. STEP 2

    STEP 2

    Wash the eggs well and dry. Be sure to wash your eggs before using them, as even seemingly clean shells can harbor harmful bacteria. It is best to use food grade detergents and a brush. Carefully separate the eggs into whites and yolks by whisking them into separate bowls. Since less proteins are required, remove some of them.

  3. STEP 3

    STEP 3

    Beat the yolks with a mixer, gradually adding some of the sugar (170 grams if you are preparing a whole portion, and 85 if you are preparing half, like me). Add sugar in small portions, kneading well after each. Beat the yolks until white and increased in volume.

  4. STEP 4

    In another bowl, start beating the egg whites. First at low speeds until white foam appears. Then increase the speed and start adding the remaining sugar (100 grams if you are preparing a whole portion, and 50 if you are preparing half, like me). Add in small portions, also kneading well after each. Beat the egg whites until they form strong peaks - they should not fall off after removing the beaters.

I needed to make the famous dessert. And for him I prepared lady fingers cookies for Tiramisu, the recipe for which I found on the website. First, I separated the eggs into yolks and whites. Sifted the flour and mixed with baking powder. Add half the sugar to the yolks and beat until white foam. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with the remaining sugar until stiff peaks form. Added the whites to the yolks and mixed gently. I added flour gradually, while stirring gently from bottom to top. I put the dough in a pastry bag and placed it on a baking sheet lined with pastry paper in the form of sticks. Sprinkled with powdered sugar. Bake cookies at 200° for 15 minutes. The cookies turned out tender and very tasty. Thanks to the author for the recipe 😘 and I advise you to try it 😊

Loved the recipe! The first time I cooked it myself, so I chose a simpler reptile. It turned out well for the first time. I came out with these “Lady's cookies”, but they turned out a little dry, but crispy. For splendor, I added a pinch of soda and sprinkled sugar on top before putting it in the oven. They baked for 45 minutes. I took the recipe for 20 servings, but it turned out to be 30. Cookies were eaten with tea and condensed milk
