Gluten-free ladyfingers: foolproof recipe

Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 50 g sugar
• 50 g cornstarch
• icing sugar

Materials

• bowl, baking tray, piping bag, whisk, spatula

Preparation

• Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Whisk the whites, gradually adding the sugar.
• Whip the whites until they are very firm and form a bird’s-beak-shaped peak when you lift the whisk.
  
• Add the yolks and quickly whisk until fully incorporated. Avoid overmixing.
• Sift the cornstarch over the mixture, then fold it in gently with a spatula, lifting the batter up and over the cornstarch.
  
• Pipe the ladyfingers onto a baking tray.
• Dust the ladyfingers with icing sugar. Wait 2 minutes, then dust again.
  
• Bake for 11 minutes at 375°F (190°C).
• 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 flour/cornstarch: This step is essential in this recipe. Otherwise, there will be too many lumps!

No piping bag? Cut the corner off a freezer bag and spoon your mixture into it! For even more precision, you can insert a piping nozzle ;-)
