Ingredients

• 2 eggs

• icing sugar

Materials

• Pipe the ladyfingers onto a baking tray.

• And there you have it, your gluten-free ladyfingers are ready!
  

Observations

Shape: You decide! For a Charlotte, you can choose to make round biscuits to place at the bottom.

Sift the cornstarch: This step is essential in this recipe. Otherwise, there will be too many lumps!

No piping bag? Cut the corner of a freezer bag and pour your mixture in! For even more precision, you can insert a nozzle ;-)
