Ladyfingers, Savoiardi
Known in Italy as "savoiardi," these long, oval-shaped cookies are often used in making elegant desserts such as tiramisu and charlottes.
Sweet and fairly dry, ladyfingers are made from a delicate sponge cake batter in which beaten egg whites, vanilla and flour are gently folded into a thick mixture of egg yolks and sugar.
The batter is piped into long finger-shaped forms and dusted with sugar before baking to give them a crisp, sweet crust.
Ladyfingers are also known around the world as boudoir biscuits,sponge fingers and biscuits à la cuillère.
They should not to be confused with "ladies' fingers," which is another name for Okra.
Varieties
Traditional Italian savoiardi are thick and crisp around the edges.
American ladyfingers tend to be smaller and more moist.
Both varieties can be used in recipes, but it is advisable to briefly toast American ladyfingers to keep them from getting too soggy (especially in liqueur-soaked recipes like tiramisu).
