    My ladyfingers spread out too much. What did I do wrong?

  • Francesco Christiansen

    Fantastic recipe! Just be careful not to overmix the batter.

  • Jaquelin Olson

    I used these for tiramisu, and they were perfect. They soaked up the coffee liqueur beautifully.

  • Maximillian Braun

    These were so much better than store-bought! A little time-consuming, but worth the effort.
