Ingredients

Egg yolks 10 oz / 284 g

Granulated sugar 13 oz / 369 g

Egg whites 13 oz / 369 g

Cake flour, sifted 12 oz / 340 g

Confectioners' sugar as needed

Directions

Line sheet pans with parchment paper.

Whip the egg yolks with 9 oz/255 g of the granulated sugar on high speed with the whip attachment until thick and light, about 8 minutes.

Whip the egg whites on medium speed with a clean whip attachment until soft peaks form. Add the remaining 4 oz / 113 g sugar to the whites in a steady stream, then increase to high speed and whip until medium peaks form.

Working quickly but gently, fold the egg whites into the yolks. Fold in the sifted cake flour.

5 Fill a pastry bag fitted with a #4 plain tip with the batter and pipe into 3-in / 8-cm lengths on the prepared pans. Dust generously with confectioners' sugar.

Bake at 400°F / 204°C until the edges turn a light golden brown, about 15 minutes.

Transfer to racks and cool completely. Store in an airtight container.

Variation: Chocolate Ladyfingers

Substitute 2 oz / 57 g cocoa powder for 2 oz / 57 g of the cake flour and sift it with the flour before proceeding as directed above.
