Carlo CRACCO’s Ladyfingers

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Carlo Cracco’s book ” If You Want to Be Cool, Use Shallots” published by Rizzoli, and I loved it! It’s not your usual recipe book because the charming Cracco, who appears with a lovely smiling picture on the back cover, has included some cooking lessons (60 recipes and as many cooking school lessons) that are really well explained and very interesting, divided into three difficulty levels

You start with a classic spaghetti with tomato, which is not at all simple, and then move on to a particular pâte à bombe and so on…

There are many recipes that tempt me and today I tried to do lesson 58 “Ladyfingers”.

The recipe is for an industrial number of ladyfingers, I would say for a restaurant, so to make it for just the two of us, I divided the indicated doses by 3 (and about twenty came out)… I’ll leave the choice of doses to you for your need, and I’ll transcribe the exact quantities indicated by Carlo Cracco.

These ladyfinger biscuits are really fragrant, not too sweet as you sometimes find at the store and for being the first ladyfingers of my cooking experience, they are… a delight!!!! If you want to go overboard, prepare the Barbajada and you’ll taste the goodness…( HERE)
