LADYFINGERS
These light and delicate sponge-cake cookies are often used to accompany desserts such as sherbet and puddings, and are an important component when making fruit charlottes and tiramisu. Finding them in a supermarket is easy, but making them at home yields especially delicious results.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a small bowl, sift together flour, cornstarch, and salt; set aside. Line three baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat egg yolks, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and the vanilla until light and creamy, about 4 minutes; set aside.
- In the clean bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a clean whisk attachment, beat egg whites on medium-high speed with 1/4 cup granulated sugar until foamy. Add cream of tartar, and continue to beat until soft peaks form. With machine running, gradually add remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar, beating into stiff, glossy peaks.
- Fold egg-yolk mixture into egg-white mixture, then fold in dry ingredients. Do not overmix.
- Transfer to a pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch round tip. Pipe 4-inch cookies onto prepared baking sheets leaving about 1 inch between cookies. Lightly dust with confectioners' sugar. Bake until just beginning to brown around the edges, about 8 minutes; rotate pans once after 4 minutes. Transfer to wire racks to cool. Will keep, at room temperature, in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
- Just before serving, dust with confectioners' sugar and, if desired, sandwich raspberry jam or lemon curd between them.

- Sift the flour and cocoa powder in a bowl. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with a mixer until firm peaks. Add the caster sugar and whisk until stiff and glossy. Add the beaten egg yolks and gently mix with a spatula. Finally, add the sifted dry mixture of flour and cocoa powder and gently combine with the spatula. Spread the preparation on a baking sheet covered with parchment, using an angled spatula. Bake at 356 F/180 C for 10 minutes. Once ready, remove from the oven and let it cool.
- To make the caramelized pears, cut drained pears into cubes. Place the caster sugar in a non-stick frying pan and heat on medium until the sugar starts caramelizing. Add pear cubes and half a vanilla bean, cut in half lengthwise. Caramelize pears for about 5 minutes.
- To make the caramel bavarian cream, soak the gelatin sheets in cold water. Place 90 g of caster sugar in a saucepan and heat on medium until you get a gold dark caramel. Add 30-40 ml of water and mix well with a whisk. Take the caramel out of the heat and set aside.
