How do you make Lady finger? You may be surprised on how easily you can make this and how fast it is to whip. You don’t need fancy equipment at all and the ingredients are readily available in your stores. SO let’s start…
Lady finger is often use as a principal ingredient for many dessert recipes like charlottes and trifles. And it is sometimes use as sponge element for Tiramisu. In the Philippines, we use it for our famous Refrigerator Cake and in the photo above, I used it for my NO BAKE CHEESE CAKE (post coming soon).It may look like making Lady Finger might be a challenge to make but with this step by step method in the video and in the recipe list, I think you may be on your way to succeed at making this.
Ingredients
- 3 egg yolks
- 3 egg whites
- 120 grams sugar
- 140 grams all purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon corn starch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Pre heat oven at 350 F and line baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Separate yolks from egg whites and beat egg whites on high, add sugar in 3 intervals and beat until soft peaks.
- Add egg yolks and mix until incorporated. DON'T OVERMIX THIS PART. Just enough to combine yolks with egg whites- in fact, you can use the spatula to do this.
- Strain flour,corn starch and baking powder mixture into the egg mixture and fold flour mixture into the egg mixture.
- Pipe batter into a pastry bag with TIP WILTON # 12 ROUND NOZZLE OR 1 A ROUND NOZZLE.
- And holding the pastry bag 45 degree angle to the baking sheet . PIPE AT 12 CM as shown in the video. OR, YOU CAN PIPE THEM SEPARATELY. WITH 1 INC H DISTANCE FROM EACH BATTER
- When you have piped all the cookies, bake at 350 F for 10 to 15 minutes, or until Lady fingers are firm but barely brown.
- LET COOL AND DIVIDE LADY FINGER AND SEPARATE THEM...

Thank you.
Jagruti Dhanecha says
Wow..you have made ladyfingers at home? Such a gorgeous looking cake and loving your airy pics!
Marisa Franca says
I hadn’t really thought of making Ladyfingers from scratch — what a great idea. I bet homemade tastes amazing. They add such a beauty to desserts. I’ll have to see if I can’t find a mold — that would be even easier. I’m pinning your recipe.
Eileen Kelly says
I have never made my own ladyfingers. This is a super easy recipe to follow and I bet these taste way better than store bought! I am excited to make these this weekend

I make lady fingers, and I even have the silicone mold I bought in Italy, so they come nice and perfect. These are pretty good, and they must taste awesome in your refrigerator cake.
Denise says
Such a beautiful cake! I can imagine how delicious it tastes!
Dawn says
I’ve never made lady fingers from scratch, but they sound pretty simple to make and your results look perfect!
Shobelyn Dayrit says
Thank you so much. I will share the recipe of this cake next week.
Shobelyn Dayrit says
This is actually the first time I made it, since I often bu them, but our grocery here do not carry them often, so it is good that I now know how to make my own.
Shobelyn Dayrit says
The taste is just similar to the Lady Finger I bought at the store, so it will not change the taste of your Tiramisu . The good thing is that it is not too expensive if you make your own, compared to buying from the store.
Jenni LeBaron says
I have never made these from scratch, but I’ve certainly enjoyed them in many desserts. Homemade is always better so I can imagine how much these would amplify a tiramisu or other dessert.
Gloria says
I have NEVER made them from scratch. I buy them ALL the time. This looks like a fun kitchen experiment, Homemade is always better than bought.
Kelly Anthony says
This is seriously one of the most gorgeous cakes I have ever seen! Just beautiful!!!
Elaine says
How fun! I’ve eaten a ton of lady fingers in my day but never tried to make them myself! But I want to now that I’ve found your delicious recipe!
