Passover ladyfingers

Yield: 16 servings

Measure Ingredient
\N \N -SANDI BROOKS WFCJ53B
6 \N Egg yolks
¼ cup Sugar
4 \N Egg whites
½ cup Sugar
½ cup Sifted cake meal
¼ cup Sifted potato starch
\N \N Superfine sugar

In a large mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks with the ¼ cup of sugar until light and creamy.

In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until foamy, then gradually add the ½ cup sugar beating well after each addition until stiff.

Fold the egg whites into the yolk mixture. On a piece of waxed paper sift the cake meal and the potato starch.

Sprinkle the sifted cake meal and potato starch over the batter and fold in gently.

Line a large cookie sheet with brown paper. Using a pastry bag fitted with a round tube, pipe the batter onto the paper to form finger shapes about 1" wide and 4" long. Dust with superfine sugar shaken through a small sieve.

Bake for 10-12 minutes in a preheated 375 oven. Using a wide spatula, loosen from the paper immediately. Makes about 24.

I would use these to make several desserts that require either regular ladyfingers or I would line a springform pan with these and fill it with your favorite mousse recipe. Or you could use them to serve with a fruit compote.

The recipe is from the Complete Passover cookbook, by Frances AvRutick.
