SPONGE FINGERS

SPONGE FINGERS


1 egg

45 ml (3 level tbsp) caster sugar

60 ml (4 level tbsp) strong white flour


  1. Line a baking sheet with non-stick paper. Put the egg and sugar in a deep bowl and whisk until light, creamy and stiff enough to retain the impression of the whisk for a few seconds.

  2. Sift half the flour over the mixture and fold in very lightly, using a metal spoon. Add the remaining flour in the same way. Spoon the mixture into a piping bag fitted with a 1 cm plain nozzle and pipe the mixture on to the baking sheet in 7.5 cm lengths, leaving room for spreading.

  3. Bake in the oven at 200°C mark 6 for 8 – 10 minutes, until golden. Remove the sponge fingers carefully and cool on a wire rack.
    Note: if you wish, the ends of the fingers may be dipped into melted plain or milk chocolate, or chocolate flavoured cake covering, and allowed to harden before using.
