    I watched like 5 videos on how to make lady fingers and i decided to try this one, so glad i did!! 😍 Tastes exactly like you want it to and the texture is unbelievable 😍 lightly crispy on the outside and light and soft on the inside. Of course, if you want it crunchier, you can bake it a little longer on a lower heat

    @anfello9870 Před 4 měsíci

    Hi Chef.. shouldn't it have crisp texture instead of soft one, especially for Tiramisu? If it has soft texture, when we dip it in the coffee, it will become too soggy. On the other hand, if it is crisp, then it will be able to maintain its structure better. What do you think?

    • @user-bh3ox5ru2m

      You can use a zip lock bag. Just cut a corner off--not too much, though. It's a little harder to hold than a piping bag because the plastic bag is wider. You can also make a cone out of parchment paper. There are videos on You Tube that show you how to make them.
