parchment / butter paper.
With
your electric mixer, beat the egg yolks and 2 tablespoons of sugar on high
speed until the mixture comes thick and pale. When you raise the batter, it
should fall back into the bowl in a slow ribbon.

in vanilla extract and sift the cake flour into the batter but not mix or fold
it.
Now
whip the egg whites in a separate bowl until foamy.
Gradually
add 3 tablespoons of sugar and beat till the egg whites are glossy.
Fold
the egg whites into the egg yolk and flour mixture in three steps, mixing well
after each addition.
Transfer
the batter to a pastry bag and pipe the lady fingers. Sift the icing sugar onto
the top of the lady fingers and bake for 8 to 10 minutes until they are firm,
still spongy .
After
baking, take the lady fingers out of the oven and keep it for a few minutes.
Then slide the parchment/ butter paper and remove the lady fingers with a flat
spatula.
You will get crispy lady fingers :-)
