- 125g icing sugar (90+35)
- 8 egg whites
Instructions
- Before starting this Sponge fingers recipe, make sure you have organised all the necessary ingredients.
- Clarify the eggs and keep 5 egg yolks in a recipient.
- Mix the egg yolks with 125 grams of castor sugar and blanch by beating vigorously for 5 minutes.
- Add the sifted flour and combine until the preparation has a homogeneous consistency.
- Whip up the egg whites until firm.The 8 egg whites should precisely make 1/4 litre. If necessary, you can either add or remove an egg. This will vary according to the size of the eggs.
- Halfway through the whisking process, add 90g of icing sugar and continue whipping until stiff.
- Add 1/3 of the meringue to the first preparation. Combine well with a whisk.
- Add the remaining meringue and gently combine, using a rubber spatula. The resulting mixture should be used right away.
- Transfer the mixture into a piping bag fitted with a medium diameter plain nozzle. I recommend using a dough scraper.
- On a baking sheet lined with non-stick grease proof paper or a baking mat, pipe all the Sponge finger in one go. You may need to use 2 or 3 baking sheets.
- Sprinkle with the remaining 35 grams of icing sugar.
- Cook for about 8-10 minutes at 180°C, in a preheated fan oven, then lower the temperature to 150°C and cook again for another 5-6 minutes (keep in mind that the surface should not darken but remain clear, golden only slightly).
- The Sponge finger biscuits are ready, let them cool before enjoying them.
