I was disheartened to find that my local supermarket didn’t stock ladyfingers outside of the Christmas season, so off to google I went! This recipe was SO easy and delicious that I think I’ll start making my own from now on! I used these for tiramisu the next day and followed the tip of leaving them out overnight. Gosh, it was so good. Thanks for the great recipe!

In reply to Colette l Blackburn. Hi Colette! I'm not sure this recipe would work as a cake. :(

In reply to Harley. Thank you for trying my recipe, Harley! You do need them to sit out overnight so they can become stale so they will hold up better in the tiramisu. :)

They came out perfect but must I wait overnight before I can make tiramisu? ;(

This is the only recipe I use for Ladyfingers – I just need to get better at piping them, and the process leading up to it. I am a s***wreck in the kitchen and it’s almost comical when I make this recipe – I will spare the details. Thank you for sharing this excellent recipe.

In reply to Sam Merritt.

We saw a Tik Tok on Tiramisu. I thought to try it but surprisingly Lady Fingers are nowhere to be found near me. This recipe was perfect for lady fingers. We’ve been on a chocolate mousse kick lately so this just fell into place with the egg whites and yolks. Easy peasy. Came out perfect. Thanks a bunch.

In reply to Lisa. I have used both "Clabber Girl" and Rumford cornstarches that are non-GMO. They both work well. :)

In reply to Sam Merritt. Do you have a brand for your corn starch? I’ve had no luck finding anything except tapioca starch or arrowroot powder!

In reply to Lisa. Hi Lisa! I use a non-GMO cornstarch. While I haven't tried using a potato starch or tapioca starch I suspect they would work fairly well with this recipe. Alternatively I would swap the cornstarch for flour, though again the cookies would be a bit denser and less crisp. I hope that helps!

What options do we have to substitute the corn starch? Looking for something without the lovely American “bioengineered food ingredients.”

You didn’t look impressed in your recipe video but I am! I have a super bland tastebuds though so these are just perfect! Texture perfect too! My piping skill isn’t though but no one will see in tiramisu! 😂 Thank you!

In reply to Nicole. I'm so sorry to hear this happened, Nicole! Were your egg whites whipped to stiff peaks? Were you careful when folding them together? It's odd that you got so few. :(

My lady fingers came out very stiff, they were very wide and flat and almost rubbery. It only took about 14 minutes for mine to bake, but the recipe didn’t make around 50 like they said, it only made about 12 for me. I dont know what happened.

I could not find the packaged ones, so decided to try these. So much more economical. I had a major fail trying to pipe these from a makeshift pastry bag. But having spent so much time doing the mixing, I came up with a solution. I lined a sheet pan with parchment, and baked the whole batch as a sheet cake. They came out just fine–after I waited for them to cool, I cut them into pieces about the same size. They were not uniform sized, but it made no difference as they were going into tiramisu. Delicious ladyfingers! A little time consuming, but less expensive, and worth the effort to say “I made them from scratch!”

In reply to Suganeswary Supramani. Egg is the biggest ingredient here so you don't really have another option as far as the taste. They could have potentially been slightly over-baked making them a little too firm. :(
