Gluten Free Ladyfingers
Follow this recipe to make perfect gluten free ladyfingers. These sweet meringue cookies are essential for a delicious gluten free tiramisu.
Equipment
- Stand mixer and hand mixer (or whisk)
- Large mixing bowl
- Large piping bag
- Silicone baking mat
- Sheet pans
Ingredients
- 4 eggs separated
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 ¼ cup gluten free all purpose flour
- 1 t. baking powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line two sheet pans with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
- In a large mixing bowl whip the egg yolks and half of the sugar until light in color and fluffy. This should take a couple of minutes then set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer whip the egg whites until frothy then gradually add the sugar. Continue to whip until they reach stiff peaks - between to 6 to 9 minutes. The whites will have a glossy sheen.
- While the egg whites whip sift the flour and baking powder onto a large piece of parchment paper.
- Fold half of the egg whites into the yolks and then add the flour mixture and fold it in. Add the rest of the egg whites and fold it in until a light and fluffy batter forms.
- Pipe 3 ½ inch long ladyfingers onto the pan at least an inch apart (they will spread some). Dust the cookies with powdered sugar and bake for 12 to 15 minutes. The outsides should be lightly golden and the insides should be dry and crisp.
