Ladyfingers

As soon as I saw a picture of these ladyfingers in the recipe, I decided I had to try to make them. They looked very similar to a delicious type of very soft biscuits which are very popular in Sardinia, where I’m from.

I was wrong, they are much better! There are no words to describe how soft they are!

Lesson learnt: to create that nice crust on the top, the biscuits are dusted twice with powdered sugar.

These biscuits are traditionally used to cover the sides of a Charlotte, which I will try to make soon.

I also think they are perfect for one of my favourite dessert: tiramisù!
