Ladyfingers or Savoiardi Biscuits Recipe

So, we're doing something a little sweet again this week! We're making ladyfinger biscuits. Now, we are not bakers, and hubby's a trained chef, but not a pastry chef, so they came out a little ugly (not very much practice piping), but the final resting place for these extremely light and crispy biscuits is deep within next week's tiramisu, so we didn't worry too much with how they looked!

We cut down the sugar a bunch for this recipe, and they still came out extremely sweet. They're also a little boring on their own, so if you're making these to just eat (and not part of a larger recipe like tiramisu or trifle), then we would recommend adding some lemon zest into the batter for a little extra flavour and aroma. For dipping in tea or coffee, they are extremely absorbent and sponge-like, so just give a very quick dunk so they don't turn to mush in your hot drink!
