Lady finger biscuits

I thought that I’d go back to the basic classics for this week’s Fiesta Friday by making a lovely batch of Lady finger biscuits! If you don’t know what these are, you’ve been missing out cupcake! Lady finger biscuits are essential for making tiramisu. Although I’m no tiramisu fan, I’m a big fan of lady finger biscuits because they’re so pillow-y soft to eat!

Lil’ bun is just the same but I feel like she likes madelines more in terms of cake like cookies because they’re shell shaped but either way cake-y cookies are oh so yum! Originally I wanted to make madelines but since we didn’t have the shell moulds for them, I decided to make lady fingers instead. I find that people tend to buy lady finger biscuits from the store when they make tiramisu but why not make it at home preservative free? I mean they’re super duper easy to make and need minimal ingredients. Plus, I think making them at home would be a cheaper option too!
