Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
To prepare this cookie, we take the products according to the list.
Step 2:
Divide eggs into whites and yolks.
Step 3:
Pour 100 grams of powdered sugar into the yolks.
Step 4:
Beat with a mixer until an airy white mass forms.
Step 5:
Next, whisk the proteins with a mixer until light air foam.
Step 6:
After adding the remains of powdered sugar, this is another 100 grams, and we continue to beat the mass to stable peaks - this is important!
Step 7:
In the whipped yolks, carefully introduce the proteins in two or three passes and each time carefully and slowly mix with a silicone spatula in the direction from bottom to top and in a circle. After adding the sifted flour and also gently mix with a silicone spatula from the bottom up and in a circle - do not overdo it, otherwise the proteins will settle and the dough will flow.
Step 8:
Here is a dough of a delicate consistency we should get.
Step 9:
Next, we look at how to bake Savoyardi sponge cookies. We put the dough in a pastry bag and put strips of 10 centimeters long on oiled parchment, or whatever you need. The dough should not spread - it should keep its shape! Sprinkle the blanks with powdered sugar and bake in a preheated oven at 200 C – 10-15 minutes. Focus on your oven.
Step 10:
The readiness of cookies can be determined by its golden color. It will also crack slightly beautifully. We take the cookies out of the oven, cool them on the grill and serve them to the table.
Ladies' fingers, or "Savoyardi" means "Savoy" - this name is connected with the history of the appearance of the first recipe for this cookie. When the King of France visited Prince Amadeo of Savoy, an unusually delicious cookie was served to him as a treat - fragrant, soft, melting in his mouth. The king liked it so much that he asked for his recipe and, as a sign of favor and gratitude, named the cookies after the province of Savoy in order to perpetuate this dessert in the French culinary art. Shortly after that, Savoy cookies became the official confectionery of the Duchy of Savoy and the pride of all Frenchmen.
