Show ingredients

- starch (corn or potato) – 10 g;
- flour – 50 g;

- vanilla sugar or vanilla – to taste and preference;
- powdered sugar, melted chocolate or any jam – for decoration.
Preparation
- So, we turn on the oven to heat at t-180°C, prepare the ingredients for making sponge cookies.
- Break the eggs, separately placing the yolks and whites in different containers. The bowls must be clean and dry. Add a pinch of salt to the whites.
- Beat the whites at high speed. This can be done using a mixer or blender with a whisk attachment. When the whites turn into fluffy foam, you can add half of the sugar. Continue beating the whites until stiff peaks form. This will take only two or three minutes.
- In the container with the yolks, add the remaining sugar and beat into a fluffy foam. Add vanilla during the process.
- In two or three stages, add the beaten whites to the yolks. Gently fold in the whites using a silicone spatula or whisk. We need to preserve the lightness and airiness of the whites.
- This is the kind of airy mass you should end up with.
- Mix the starch and flour, and be sure to sift it through a sieve so that the flour is filled with oxygen.
- Add the flour and starch to the egg mixture in two or three stages and fold in gently.
- The light dough for the cookies is ready.
- Transfer the mixture into a piping bag. Cut the tip to approximately one centimeter in diameter.
- Line the baking tray with parchment paper. Using a silicone brush, grease the paper with vegetable oil so that the sponge cookies come off easily.
- Pipe the dough onto the parchment in the shape of sticks. You can choose the shape of the cookies yourself. Leave some space between the pieces, as the dough will spread. Place the baking tray in the oven for fifteen minutes at the same t-180°C.
- The cookies baked just in time and turned out golden. Take the baking tray out of the oven.
- The cookies cool very quickly. In a couple of minutes, you can sprinkle them with powdered sugar and decorate with your favorite jam or melted chocolate.
- The light sponge cookies are ready, and they can be served even for evening tea parties.
You can experiment with the recipe, adding cocoa or lemon zest, and you will always have different cookies for tea.
