Professional Baker Teaches You How To Make LADYFINGERS!

Chef Anna Olson prepares these chocolate-dipped lady fingers, the perfect dessert for a dinner party.
Baking directions for: Chocolate-Dipped Lady Fingers
Recipe ingredients:
½ cup all-purpose flour
5 Tbsp cornstarch
3 eggs, separated and at room temperature
9 Tbsp sugar
5 oz bittersweet chocolate, chopped (for dipping)
¼ tsp cream of tartar
Recipe directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 400 F and line 2 baking trays with parchment paper.
2. Sift the flour and cornstarch together and set aside. Whip the egg yolks with 3 Tbsp of the sugar until thick and pale and they hold a ribbon when the beaters are lifted. In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites with the cream of tartar until foamy, then slowly add the remaining 6 Tbsp of sugar and continue whipping until the whites hold a medium peak when the beaters are lifted.
3. Fold the whites into the yolk mixtures using a whisk, then fold in the flour until just incorporated. Fill a piping bag fitted with a large plain tip and pipe lady fingers onto the prepared trays that are 4-inches long and an inch apart (they will spread a little once piped). Bake for about 8 minutes, until the fingers are an even golden brown. Allow the fingers to cool completely before removing them from the trays.
4. For dipping, melt the chocolate in a metal bowl place over a pot of barely simmering water and stirring until smooth. Dip each ladyfinger a third into the chocolate and place on a clean parchment-lined baking trays to set (chill for a little, if needed).
5. The dipped ladyfingers should be enjoyed the day they are dipped, but undipped ladyfingers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Thank you so much. I’m making a dessert that requires lady fingers, but I couldn’t find any pre made. None of the recipes I found mentioned cornstarch. This seems like the best tutorial.

Hi Anna, I love your recipe! Could you or someone please tell me what size of the piping tip I should get?

[@nadiamasood340]

They look soo yummy..i'll try soon... When did you add cream of tartar.??

[@anahiarambula8438]

She adds that into the egg white when whipping

[@trulylynn9941]

How do you make them so perfect? Mine came out good even the crocked ones tasted great!

[@amandasa4373]

Can you substitute arrowroot, flour, or tapioca starch for the cornstarch?

[@msubhan5501]

👌

Now I want to make Tiramisu

[@HomesteadingADimeataTime]

Hi Anna, I saw on your twix video you tempered the chocolate. Here you have just melted it. What advantage does one method give over the other?

[@kashafwaqar376]

How can we substitute cornstarch?

[@nikithadr]

Is it fine to exclude the cream of tarter?

[@maheraljannan1676]

Hey and thanks for the video and the tips, as always, very informative. However, my question is, why the corn starch? Any significance?

[@elo5193]

I want to know too! I haven't seen other recipes use it.

[@maheraljannan1676]

@@elo5193 It is strange, they did not reply when I posted the question last year! So I guess we will never know!

[@bartekd8190]

Can I use a potato starch in place of corn starch?

[@heyj207]

How many tablespoons or cups if I use cake flour instead of flour and cornstatch?

[@trulylynn9941]

I will never buy them from the store again as this is the best recipe!

Hi Anna! I tried making them today but my batter for too runny.. and didn't understand what to do with the runny batter

hii...please suggest any substitute for eggs..tganks

[@urmishukla6867]

Hi, Greetings, Can you suggest egg replacement in this recipe please.

[@clearmind3022]

What about the powdered sugar right before they go into the oven?????

I have a request to make a soufflé

[@melinahun6835]

Can i make them without cornstarch because I don't have it?

[@maheraljannan1676]

Hi there I am following you for couple years now and I am enjoying the videos you are making. They are so easy effortless to follow and I am a big fan. However, I did watch this over and over to see when the Cream of Tartar was added and I couldn't see when did you added to the batter! Could it be added with dried ingredients or with the eggs during whipping? Thank you. PS: Is there a version in Grams for this recipe :) Tack (In Swedish means thanks)

[@mehvishsaliq786]

Maher Al Jannan you always have to add cream of tartar to the egg whites before whipping them. :)

[@maheraljannan1676]

@@mehvishsaliq786 Thank you for the reply :). However, I wonder why cream of tartar is added and what substitute it! I can't find it in Sweden!

[@mehvishsaliq786]

Maher Al Jannan you’re welcome! Cream of tartar is used to whip the egg whites fully and keep them stable, if you can’t find cream of tartar in Sweden then you can use the same quantity of plain white vinegar, that’ll do the trick as well. :)

[@maheraljannan1676]

@@mehvishsaliq786 Thanks for the tip! :)

[@miriamramos8873]

Thank you. Ill be trying your recipe but instead of egg ill be using aquafaba because I am vegan I am sure it will come out just as delish

[@AnaMC1]

So are lady fingers supposed to be a hard cookie or a soft cookie?

[@KL8388]

You use a deck oven in your baking, and I thought that was only good for pizzas and breads but not pastry, especially delicate pastry. What kind of oven is best for making cakes, flans, and other delicate pastries like lady fingers?

[@shanarvs8182]

[@teakay5927]

can you skip the cream of tartar?

Kindly u can put your recipe ingredients quantities

[@parulgoyal7709]

Can I make without egg

[@blueflowers7873]

its easy but what can be used as a substitute for tartar..

[@firstbourne8799]

blue flower vinegar

[@firstbourne8799]

Mona Eid no I meant I was referring to blue flower, vinegar is a substitute xD

[@blueflowers7873]

Illumi Nati thank you .One more question what should be the quantity of the vinegar??

[@firstbourne8799]

blue flower from what I know, its the same. Vinegar is as concentrated as cream of tartar

[@monafayzan1516]

Can you please tell me the quality of vinegar? Same as cream of tartar or less???

[@nitinnaveenkumar8046]

can we make ladysfinger without piping bag???

[@lenorbradley8549]

Can you

[@HoaNguyen-vn4bj]

My smell eggs , I even put some vanilla but did not get rid eggy smell.

[@alexdee5341]

Im the person who would dip the whole thing in the chocolate. Maybe, half white, half dark?

[@nycp7881]

Only try these if you have a mixer. I failed without it.

[@tammiemartinez6485]

By mixer do you a mean stand mixer? I have one but my whip broke the other day. I do have a hand mixer that does have a single whip attachment. Can I ask what went wrong? I just saw this video and the one she has for the raspberry lemon mousse torte where she uses her ladyfinger recipe. I have everything to make both but if using a hand mixer is what you used and failed I don't want to risk losing all of those ingredients. Thanks!

[@BobRooney290]

that's way too much sugar!!! can splenda be used instead?

[@textmessages1376]

Good news to share, Christ Jesus loves you a lot.

My lady fingers taste awesome but they are to thin and spread way to much

Where is professional Baker... Why it's written in title. If there is no professional Baker in the video

[@IKARUSBLOODYWINGS]

She is a professional baker, you´re just too egocentric to appreciate it.
