About Savoiardi biscuits

Savoiardi are light, sweet sponge biscuits, commonly called ladyfingers. They are typically elongated and finger-shaped, with a dry, airy interior and a lightly crisp or sugar-dusted exterior; recipes usually use eggs, sugar and flour, but ingredients can vary.

They are eaten on their own or used in layered desserts and other preparations where a sponge biscuit is needed. Savoiardi are sold as individual biscuits, and texture varies by recipe and freshness. Their porous structure allows them to absorb liquids readily, becoming soft when soaked.
