Recipe: Lady fingers (for Tiramisu cakes)

Ingredients
--------------
* 5 egg whites
* 4 egg yolks
* 2/3 cup sugar
* 1 dash vanilla
* 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
* 1 cup all-purpose flour


Lady Fingers Recipe Procedure
-------------------------------------
* Separate eggs into two separate bowls.

* Beat egg whites on high speed until foamy.

* Add two tablespoons of the 2/3 cup of sugar to the egg whites. Continue to beat until stiff peaks form, and set aside.

* In a separate bowl, add vanilla and remainder of the sugar to the egg yolks and beat.

* Set it aside.

* Sift together the flour and baking powder.

* Fold half of the egg whites into the yolks. Do it real gently.

* Fold the flour mixture into the yolks.

* Fold the rest of the egg whites into the yolks.

* Put the batter into a pastry bag. ( I use a a ziploc bag with the corner snipped off.)

* Pipe the batter onto a greased cookie sheet.

NOTE: Traditionally they are shaped like two lady sized fingers. But they are going to be layered and covered. It really doesn't matter.

* Bake for about 6 minutes. Stay close because all you want is the edges to turn brown.
