This is not a great picture. I whipped up this baby batch of Ladyfingers kind of last minute and then rushed to get a few snaps before the sun went down. These Ladyfingers are the fresh, spongy kind (as opposed to the dry, crispy kind I buy when I make a tiramisu). I didn’t mind that they baked into each other, and in fact I was quite pleased that this scrap of parchment was just big enough for me to pipe my batter onto! I threw together a strawberry shortcake thing with my sponge slab for a quick dessert, and it hit the spot.

For the recipe, see Baking Chez Moi by Dorie Greenspan. Don’t forget to check out the rest of the TWD Blogroll!

I love your picture! But gosh I can sooo relate to your comment about hurrying to get the picture while the sun is still out haha. Otherwise it is sooo hard to get a shot without a shadow in the kitchen!! Your pictures always look so professional. 😍. I am planning on using mine with berries too. Sounds like everyone really liked these.

Berries are hitting the spot with this dessert. I think I will add the raspberries to the creme brulee tart too.

I love the fact that they baked together and you made strawberry shortcake. I am glad these are different to the bought ones as I still have a tonne of bought ones from something else we made with Dorie (individually packaged so they don’t go stale).
