Always fun to watch the French Cooking Academy, I love the subtle humour that is sprinkled over these videos.

[@coolazguy15]

Everything you do is amazing . You have taught me so much. Between you and Jaque pépin . You are amazing French cuisine teachers. I hope you have a long wonderful life.

[@FrenchCookingAcademy]

thanks a lot

[@acflory.writer]

Thank you! I literally just took my first ever Lady Fingers out of the oven and they are delicious. I didn't have a piping bag so I used a freezer bag with the corner cut off so the shapes are a little wonky, but the flavour and texture are fabulous! Merci. :)

[@rubydoo-27]

I watched like 5 videos on how to make lady fingers and i decided to try this one, so glad i did!! 😍 Tastes exactly like you want it to and the texture is unbelievable 😍 lightly crispy on the outside and light and soft on the inside. Of course, if you want it crunchier, you can bake it a little longer on a lower heat

[@bellanoir9479]

Just made these. This is my 3rd recipe in 3 days and I was worried about the flour being more then the sugar but they turned out so awesome! I was doing cartwheels in the kitchen. Can't wait to use them in my tiramisu!

[@FrenchCookingAcademy]

yes there great to use for all kind of dessert and quite addictive to eat

[@juanitagreenspan5412]

I love your channel. You do such a good job explaining everything. Thanks.

Made these a few days ago. So light and so pillowy. Can't wait to make it again. Next I really want to try your instruction for gratin dauphinois. Love your channel.

[@exmnred1]

Merci beaucoup. I really appreciate your adding the subtitles.

[@necrosiskoc9617]

When making these for tiramisu would one still add the powdered sugar? For the recipes I've seen they don't look like they have any on them before being dipped in the coffee

[@corinabartha5878]

I'm gonna make your recipe today. I'll add some vanilla though. Thank you for your tips!

[@NordicLead]

Just what i needed. Thx from Denmark 🙏🏻😁

I have found adding some meringue mix to the beaten gee yolks realy helps to incorporate it quicker

[@fayeliu2601]

Keep it in the container up to two weeks? Gone in two minutes, well, maybe ten…😆😆 This is a very good amount for the first timers to try! But can this recipe be doubled? You’re an excellent instructor for the French home cooking, so glad I found your channel! Merci!❤️

[@manyoelimoet9376]

I hav always make this recipe by whisking the egg separately. This method definately saving my time. 😂🎉Thnks for sharing

Gotta try these soon! 💖

[@mrspatriciaadeacon3248]

Love your videos and your recipes. Can I double this recipe? And can the lady fingers be frozen?

[@mrspatriciaadeacon3248]

Thank you so very much for your great recipes! Love your videos and your sense of humour! If I do not have a fan forced oven, at what temperature should I bake the French Lady Fingers?

[@chrisjames789]

Stephane, what size of nozzle did you use on the piping bag?

[@williamgomes852]

Wow amazing

[@organicgroove23]

Very informative. Thank you chef !

[@ChrissCaribbeanDelights945]

Awesome tutorials I have learnt a lot. I will be doing the biscuits soon.

[@rpt7894]

Hi in the description it says bake for 5 mins however I heard you saying 15 mins. May I ask how many minutes do we really need to bake it? Thank youuuu❤

[@niza4953]

This biscuit is beautiful!! I wish you will have a video on Aligot, please!!!

[@unnatirulz]

such a beautiful recipe! how many biscuits does it make though! need to use this for tiramisu and was wondering if i should double the recipe haha

[@didisinclair3605]

He says below, 10 to 15..

[@gscottfuller]

Looks great. No vanilla?

[@gerardjones7881]

very good result, and convection ovens are the only way to fly, except for souffle etc.

[@jorgenogjessiejorgensen5767]

Great to learn French cooking. Great Channel. Would your consider baking baguettes?

[@FrenchCookingAcademy]

it has been a question going around for some time. I got a new oven now I now need to find a really easy recipe that works for everyone 🙂

[@dwaynewladyka577]

Those sure look good. Cheers!

[@Eugenestube]

Oui Chef!!!

[@Szets15]

Hi, thanks for the video. Does this recipe only make 8 fingers?

[@FrenchCookingAcademy]

no you can make 10 to 15 fingers depending on size

[@Szets15]

@@FrenchCookingAcademy thanks

[@shubhromu]

Everything tastes better with that French accent

[@Screddy_Henks]

I'd brag about a new oven. I hope to make these for my family

[@FrenchCookingAcademy]

very easy to make and versatile 🙂

[@jvallas]

Would there be any small advantage to folding the yolks with the spatula?

[@kimyoung3484]

Thank you so much Sir,. I love it ❤️😻👍😻😁😁🌹❤️❤️

[@kristytatana7351]

Mmmm I did hear your excitement of a new oven…..my 70s chef oven doesn’t work anymore…..😢……🤔 I feel the oven gods will bless me to make your delicious lady fingers and meringue

[@ladycamomile]

Please tell me about the ingredients scale. Is it 100 grams flours or 3.5 oz flour? Or 100 grams is the convert from oz to grams? Thanks

[@kimyoung3484]

Have a great weekend 😁

[@aydincolak8727]

Why you didnt add vanilla?

[@ΕιρηνηΤσ-ρ6μ]

Excellent 🙏🙏🙏🕊️💓🌷💕

[@theoriginalchefboyoboy6025]

would be so cool to fill these with frangipane before baking!

[@trblcleft]

MY favorite

[@heatherlinton5057]

👌FABULOUS 🤩🇿🇦👍

[@AndyCutright]

Do you cook this with a convection oven or a standard oven?

[@FrenchCookingAcademy]

both works fine

[@AndyCutright]

@@FrenchCookingAcademy Made this today, good recipe. Thinking about making the souffle tomorrow.

[@bedetteb1111]

Would you think this would work with almond flour. I’m gluten free

[@Lat41]

Ohhhhh yeah!

[@LyndseyMacPherson]

OMG! My mum loves these, she will be so happy I've learned how to make these!

[@FrenchCookingAcademy]

it is very easy to make and taste great

[@anfello9870]

Hi Chef.. shouldn't it have crisp texture instead of soft one, especially for Tiramisu? If it has soft texture, when we dip it in the coffee, it will become too soggy. On the other hand, if it is crisp, then it will be able to maintain its structure better. What do you think?

[@ΧάρηςΚαζάκης]

It is recommended to refrigerate the baked biscuits to dry them up (or leave them out of the fridge of you live in a dry climate)

[@Myrkskog]

Pardon my ignorance/heresy, but is it reasonable to think that instead of piping into 'fingers' I could bake a slab to use in my tiramisu?

[@aminaelsadr947]

Yummy! but, no vanilla?

[@FrenchCookingAcademy]

you can add some but is optional

[@bheppes]

And a Glass of Sauterne.

[@lydiapeterszollner7557]

If you make eggs room temperature how long do you let them sit for that’s the trouble I have

[@crystalgonzalez213]

Not very long at all. Maybe 5 minutes in a warm bowl of water.

[@charlottekearn5185]

Nevermind my previous question, if I had watched to the end of video you answered it.

[@sylvialin6453]

Im going to try this. Any substitute for piping bag? Would u mind a receipe or demonstration for churros pls. English subtitles please.. I prefer to eat..so tempting

[@FrenchCookingAcademy]

you can just a large spoon if you like this was the old ways of doing it 🙂

[@christinekaye6393]

You can use a zip lock bag. Just cut a corner off--not too much, though. It's a little harder to hold than a piping bag because the plastic bag is wider. You can also make a cone out of parchment paper. There are videos on You Tube that show you how to make them.

[@sylvialin6453]

@@christinekaye6393 Thank you very much. Tht was a good idea..

[@christinekaye6393]

@@sylvialin6453 Glad to help.

[@fullmoonsociety7463]

I always wondered why is it called biscuit à la cuillère, you know why that is?

[@StephenJohnson-jb7xe]

Apparently, originally a spoon was used to put the mixture on the baking sheet, later the shape changed from round to long when a piping bag was used.

[@FrenchCookingAcademy]

Because back in the days the biscuit were spooned by hand

[@SK-lt1so]

"Very few ingredients and very simple. Here I add my secret sourdough mixture..."

[@Gisbertus_Voetius]

I think the génoise is the easiest way to make a biscuit. Just whip whole eggs with sugar, put in flour and you're good.

[@charlottekearn5185]

This may be a n odd question but is the sponge biscuits done in any other shape for different desserts?

[@mrspatriciaadeacon3248]

Made them! Came out beautiful but tasted a bit eggy. How can I prevent that?

[@ramseysealy8102]

I enjoy your videos and recipes so much. But, one physical science correction: the sugar does NOT melt into the egg whites; it dissolves in the egg whites.

No measurements?

[@brandyluck6171]

The one from the shop are better I make them I like the one from the shop they are more fill inside more firm , those we make are empty light As if no eat nothing just the sugar on top and nothing inside This what I noted I made it twice test too much the eggs
