Who would have known savoiardi are that easy to make? These spongy, airy biscuits are just perfect with a coffee or cappuccino. You definitely have to try these.
Savoiardi are the traditional biscuits used for tiramisu. However, they’re so fluffy and tasty they’re perfect by themselves as well. It’s pretty easy to make these, as they require really few ingredients. Just separate the eggs white from the yolk and that’s it!
This was the very first time I made these by myself, and I can’t thank enough @Giulia which gave me the recipe. these are so much tastier than the store bought (which in Scotland are almost impossible to find). The only secret is to be delicate after whipping the whites. Enjoy!
“I went to the store and bought lady fingers, when I got home I noticed one of the fingers was missing so I went back to the store and the manager was nice enough to give me the finger.”

I do have a scientific mind, probably it’s the reason why I love to hide in the kitchen and start creating.
My cooking is healthy, fun and colorful… and really tasty!
