Step by Step
- Preheat oven to 350° F (180°C). Prepare a baking sheet with parchment or a silicon mat.
- Whisk the yolks and 2/3 cup sugar on high speed in your stand mixer until is thick and pale- about 1 to 2 minutes. Fold the eggs into the flour in a different bowl and set aside in.
- Clean your bowl completely and dry thoroughly.
- Using the mixer, whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt until frothy. While whipping, gradually add 2 tablespoons of sugar. Whip until stiff. This takes about 1 to 2 minutes. Fold 1/3 of the whites into the reserved yolk mixture to lighten, then fold in the remaining whites until just incorporated.
- Transfer to a piping bag with a 1" hole cut off the tip. Pipe out 3 inch long "fingers" on your baking sheet.Sprinkle ladyfingers generously with confectioners' sugar, and allow the sugar to soak in, about 3 minutes.
- Place in the oven, and bake, rotating trays once, until light golden, 15 to 18 minutes.
- Transfer to wire racks to cool.
