savoiardi
Savoiardi, also known as ladyfingers, are light and airy sponge biscuits originating from the region of Savoy in France. They are characterized by their elongated shape and dry texture, making them perfect for layering in desserts. Traditionally, they are made from a simple mixture of eggs, sugar, and flour, which is piped into finger-like shapes and baked until golden.
These biscuits are commonly used in popular desserts like tiramisu and charlotte. Their ability to absorb moisture without losing structure makes them ideal for soaking in coffee or liqueurs, enhancing the flavor of the dishes they accompany.
