Notes
When I tried for the first time the mixture was a bit too runny and the fingers ended up thinner and the shapes looked organic... Elisha said they looked rustic so I called them Rustic Fingers! If the egg whites are beaten well... and the mixture looks more composed... then they'll turn out to be more like ladyfingers...
