**Egg-Free Ladyfingers Recipe Gemma S Bigger Bolder Baking**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1/2 cup sugar
– 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
– 1/4 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 cup milk
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Powdered sugar, for dusting
**Instructions:**
1. **Preheat Oven:** Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
2. **Prepare Batter:** In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
3. **Add Wet Ingredients:** Add the milk and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until you have a smooth batter with no lumps.
4. **Pipe Batter:** Transfer the batter into a piping bag fitted with a round tip. If you don’t have a piping bag, you can use a zip-top bag and cut off the corner for piping.
5. **Pipe Ladyfingers:** Pipe the batter onto the prepared baking sheet in long, thin strips, about 4 inches long and 1 inch wide. Leave some space between each ladyfinger as they will expand slightly while baking.
6. **Bake:** Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the ladyfingers for about 12-15 minutes, or until they are lightly golden brown.
7. **Cool:** Once baked, remove the ladyfingers from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. **Dust with Powdered Sugar:** Before serving, dust the cooled ladyfingers with powdered sugar for a decorative finish.
9. **Enjoy:** Your egg-free ladyfingers are now ready to be enjoyed on their own, dipped in coffee, or used in your favorite desserts like tiramisu. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to a few days.
