Ingredients
Method
Techniques
- 6 whole egg yolks
- 1 cup sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Beat six egg yolks at medium speed, gradually beating in one cup of sugar, then two teaspoons vanilla, a couple of minutes until thick and pale yellow, to the ribbon stage.
- 6 whole egg whites
- salt
Whip the six egg whites with a pinch of salt to soft peaks, sprinkle on two tablespoons sugar, whip to stiff peaks.
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
Fold a quarter of the whites and about a quarter of the flour, sifted, into the yolks until partially blended; repeat with a third of the whites and flour at a time until no peaks or flour remain and the batter is light and fluffy.
Pipe with a half-inch nozzle into fingers four inches long and one and a half inches wide.
- powdered sugar
Sprinkle a layer of powdered sugar over the tops to help them rise and keep them from spreading.
Bake on the middle rack at 300F for around 20 minutes, until slightly crusty outside and tender but dry inside.
