Ladyfingers (biscuits)

Uncommon card · No. 75477

Ladyfingers or Naples biscuits, in British English sponge fingers, also known by the Italian name savoiardi (Italian: [savoˈjardi]) or by the French name boudoirs (French: [budwaʁ]), are low-density, dry, egg-based, sweet sponge cake biscuits roughly shaped like large fingers. They are a principal ingredient in many dessert recipes, such as trifles and charlottes, and are also used as fruit or chocolate gateau linings, and for the sponge element of tiramisu. They are typically soaked in a sugar syrup or liqueur, or in espresso for tiramisu.
