Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 48 servings

  • 4 eggs, separated

  • ⅔ cup white sugar, divided

  • ⅞ cup all-purpose flour

  • ½ teaspoon baking powder

Directions

  1. Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C). Line two 17x12-inch baking sheets with parchment paper. Fit a large pastry bag with a plain 1/2- inch round tube.

  2. Place egg whites in a large bowl and beat on high with an electric mixer until soft peaks start to form. Add 2 tablespoons sugar and continue beating until stiff and glossy.

  3. Beat egg yolks and remaining sugar in a separate bowl until thick and very pale in color.

  4. Fold 1/2 of the egg whites into egg yolk mixture; sift in flour and baking powder, then fold in the remaining egg whites until combined.

  5. Transfer the mixture to the prepared pastry bag. Pipe 3-inch "fingers" in rows about 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheets.

  6. Bake in preheated oven until firm to the touch and just golden, about 8 minutes.
