Low Fat Desserts Recipes - Lemon Sponge Fingers

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs

  • 75g caster sugar

  • grated rind of 1 lemon

  • 50g plain flour, sifted

  • caster sugar, for sprinkling


Method:

  1. Preheat the oven to I90.C/3751'/Gas 5. Line two baking sheets with non-stick baking paper. Whisk the eggs, sugar and lemon rind together with a hand-held electric whisk until thick and mousse-like: when the whisk is lifted, a trail should remain on the surface of the mixture for at least 30 seconds.

  2. Carefully fold in the flour with a large metal spoon using a figure-of-eight action.

  3. Place the mixture in a piping bag fitted with a 1cm plain nozzle. Pipe into finger lengths on the prepared baking sheets, leaving room for spreading.

  4. Sprinkle the fingers with caster sugar. Bake for 6-8 minutes until golden brown, then remove to a wire rack to cool completely.
