Tablespoon Butter
/4 Cup Sifted flour; plus
Tablespoon Sifted flour
Egg yolks
/2 Cup Sugar
Egg whites; beaten until stiff
Pinch Salt
Teaspoon Vanilla
Powdered sugar; for dusting
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease and flour 2 baking sheets with 2
tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons of flour. Mark parallel lines in the
flour across the width of the tray about 4 inches apart. Put the eggs and
sugar in a large mixing bowl, and with an electric mixer fitted with a wire
whisk beat on medium−high speed until the mixture is pale yellow, thick, and
has tripled in volume, about 8 minutes, using the mixer. Add the egg whites,
remaining 3/4 cup flour, salt and vanilla, fold to mix thoroughly so the
mixture is smooth. Fill a large pastry bag with a 3/4−inch plain tube with
the mixture. Pipe fingers about 4 1/2−inches in length on to the baking
sheet, using the lines as a guide. Dust the lady fingers with powdered
sugar. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until just firm on the outside and soft
in the center. This recipe yields 24 lady fingers.
