Skip the Store: Make Ladyfingers from Scratch

Hi foodie,

Lately, I’ve been on a little mission—bringing more from-scratch recipes to the blog. You know, those things we often buy without thinking twice... like pita bread, granola, or in this case, ladyfingers. There’s something incredibly satisfying about making them at home—fewer ingredients, better taste, and that feeling of “wow, I made this!”

This week’s new recipe is another step in that direction. But before we get into it—I’d love to hear from you. Is there something you always buy at the store but have been curious to make from scratch? Maybe a pantry staple? A dessert component? Hit reply and let me know—I’m always looking for new ideas to try and share with you.

NEW: Homemade Ladyfingers

These delicate sponge cookies are light, airy, and gently sweet—perfect on their own or as the foundation of so many iconic desserts. They come together quickly with just a few ingredients you probably already have at home. Soft on the inside, crisp on the outside, and ready in under 30 minutes!

While you can enjoy ladyfingers as-is (I may have eaten three straight off the tray 😅), they really shine in desserts like classic tiramisu, pistachio tiramisu, or the Brazilian pavê. You’ll find all those recipe links—and some tips and tricks to get the perfect texture, in the full blog post.
