Ingredients- Low-gluten rice flour 35-40g (or low-gluten wheat flour 35g)
- 1 fresh egg
- 35g granulated sugar
- 1 Tbsp powdered sugar (for dusting)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare 35g of granulated sugar. This recipe yields approximately 18-20 ladyfinger cookies.
Step 2
Carefully crack 1 fresh egg and separate the egg white from the yolk. Ensure no yolk mixes into the egg white, as this is crucial for achieving a good meringue.
Step 3
To the egg whites, gradually add the 35g of granulated sugar in 3-4 additions while whisking with a hand mixer or whisk. Continue until stiff peaks form, creating a firm and glossy meringue. Adding sugar incrementally helps create a stable meringue.
Step 4
Once a firm and glossy meringue is achieved, gently fold in the egg yolk. Mix until just combined and the mixture turns a uniform ivory color, being careful not to deflate the meringue.
Step 5
Sift the low-gluten rice flour (35-40g) or low-gluten wheat flour (35g) into the egg mixture. Gently fold the flour into the batter using a spatula, using a cutting motion, until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to ensure a smooth batter.
Step 6
Transfer the batter into a piping bag fitted with a plain tip. Pipe the batter onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, forming long, finger-like shapes. Leave a little space between each cookie.
Step 7
Dust the piped cookie dough generously with powdered sugar, repeating the dusting 3-4 times. Lightly tap the baking sheet after each dusting. This coating creates a wonderfully crisp and sweet exterior once baked.
Step 8
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for approximately 13 minutes. Keep an eye on the cookies and adjust baking time as needed until they are lightly golden brown.
Step 9
Your sweet and crispy, incredibly simple ladyfinger cookies are ready! Make them anytime you desire a quick and delightful dessert, perfect with coffee or tea. They’re also a fantastic treat for kids!
