Ladyfingers

Ladyfingers are long narrow sponge cake slices resembling "fingers". The commercially prepared cookie is light with a slightly dry texture. These are the cookies used in making Tiramisu but they are also nice served with tea or coffee. 

Here are the best substitutions for ladyfingers:

• For 1lb of ladyfingers use 1lb Sponge cake cut into strips and baked for 10 minutes until lightly crisp
• OR - Use a 1lb pound cake baked for 10 minutes until lightly crisp. Both of these options are good alternatives for making tiramisu.

1lb ladyfingers = 60 to 65 ladyfingers
