SAVOIARDI- SPONGE FINGER BISCUITS- A STEP TOWARDS TIRAMISU

 Savoiardi or sponge finger biscuits, is one of the main ingredient in Italian dessert Tiramisu. It serves as the base in Tiramisu and is soaked in strong coffee. I came across this recipe when I was looking for home-made mascaporne cheese recipe. When I came across this recipe along with the cheese one, I got super excited. I started looking forward for a complete home made Tiramisu.


Also if these are super easy to make at home, then why spend extra money... All you need is a set of few ingredients.. Mix and pipe fingers onto cookie sheet... It gets baked in 10-15 minutes... And then it is done..
Also its not readily available every where and if you are a fan of Tiramisu then today onwards there is nothing  to stop you from enjoying it, everything can be made at home, mascaporne and biscuits. Yippiee...
Or if you simply want to enjoy it with a cup of tea/coffee, then that is a good option too...

With the given quantity of ingredients you get quite a lot of biscuits. But if you are planning to make Tiramisu then whole thing will get used up.
If you want, you can make this ahead and store in an air tight container.. So that all you need to do is finally assembling of Tiramisu...
Here goes the recipe...

Ingredients:
  • Egg  - 3 seperated
  • All purpose flour- 1/2 cup
  • Sugar- 5 tablespoon
  • vanilla essence- 1 teaspoon


Method:
  • Seperate egg whites and yolks.
  • Beat the egg whites with 2 tablespoon sugar until you get stiff peaks
  • Beat the yolks with remaining sugar and vanilla essence
  • Fold in the egg whites to yolk mixture. 
  • Add in flour and mix until well combined
  • Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper
  • Pipe 9 cm fingers onto the parchment leaving 1 inch space in between
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes in a preheated oven at 175 degree C

Thinking about  blessed holy month of Ramadan already fills me with chills when people are so much around, mosques crowded, streets busy, everything seems so special. Especially being in an Islamic country like UAE, I enjoy the benefit of husband returning from work early, due to short working hours for all companies and then roads during night time is so lit up and busy, anybody can roam around safely no matter even if you are alone. Its definitely a month of devotion and religious commitment, which is only why you can still fast in full spirit no matter how long the fasting hours are and that too when summer is at its peak. Its a month when Quran was sent to our Messenger Muhammad S.A. and we give so much importance in spending our time in recitation of Quran and that is mostly how I spend my time of worship or Ibaadah apart from obligatory prayers during Ramadan. Ofcourse apart from religious commitment, we are supposed to cook for the Iftar (fast breaking time) but t...

Kunafa

Kunafa, i have not much words to describe this dessert. So addictively delicious is all i can say. Its a baked Arabic dessert with shredded Kunafa dough and cheese as filling, served warm with rose scented sugar syrup . Whenever I crave for one, I always beg my husband to get one from any of the local Arabic bakeries/restaurants, but it is only a limited portion i can enjoy as the price is too high for a small quantity. And with kids around, my cravings are never put to end. All i can do is sit back and drool over this heaven when my kids gobble it down. My 6 year old pouring that sugar syrup and mehndi on her hands were done by me for Eid This time i decided to give it a try, after drooling over a plethora of images and recipes on internet. Also after having one from one of the Arabic restaurants, and the deliciousness it had (OMG!! It was such a heaven, served straight from the oven, my husband and i couldn't wait it to cool down, we had the entire thing all by ourselv...

LAZEEZ MURGH TIKKA MASALA

I have been very lazy in experimenting main course meals lately. In earlier days of marriage I used to try every single way to impress my husband and cook for him. A once experimented dish hardly was repeated especially during dinners and I used to keep experimenting new ones. As kids came into our lives, my schedule gradually got hectic and so the time I spent to cook. Usually these days when I decide chicken for our menu, I cook up regular easy version of chicken curry and do not take the trouble to browse through Internets. After a long while I felt the urge to cook something different and I happened to stumble over this recipe of Sanjeev Kapoor's. I tried it the same day and it turned out to be delicious with all the richness and spice loaded cream based thick gravy. It is perfect to go with rotis and obviously rice was not the perfect combo, as I made rice as I was in short of time to prepare roti before hubby arrived.  I felt the khoya in this recipe added richness t...
