The Best Ladyfingers Recipe You’ll Ever Need

Cuisine: Italian
Servings: 10
- 2 eggs
- 50g granulated sugar
- 60g cake flour
- 3 drops lemon juice
- 20g icing sugar to sprinkle on top
Separate Egg Whites and Yolks:
Whip the Egg Whites:
Add 3 drops of lemon juice to the egg whites. Lemon juice helps remove any eggy odor and stabilizes the meringue. Begin whipping the whites with a hand mixer, and add 50g granulated sugar in three stages:
First, when coarse bubbles form.
Second, when the foam becomes finer.
Third, when the meringue begins to form streaks.
Whip until soft peaks form, meaning the meringue stands upright when you lift the whisk.
