Please email me and tell me where to find the tiramisu recipe! I'm new to
all this...

Here's a recipe for ladyfingers I use adapted from The Gluten-Free Kitchen.
According to their info, each cookie has approximately 3g of carbs, so you
could have about 4-5 cookies for a carb choice. Of course, that's the
cookies by themselves...

2 eggs, separated
1/8 tsp cream of tartar
pinch of salt
1/4 tsp vanilla flavoring
1/4 cup sugar
2 TBSP cornstarch
2 TBSP potato starch
1/8 tsp guar gum
1/2 tsp water

Preheat oven to 325 deg.. In medium bowl, beat egg whites and creme of tartar to
stiff peaks. Set aside.

In medium bowl, mix all remaining ingredients until pale yellow and smooth.
(This takes a bit of time and effort.) Fold in egg whites until completely
mixed, but be careful not to overwork the batter.

Spoon tablespoons of batter into 3 1/2 inch long fingers on well-greased
baking sheet. Batter spreads after pouring, so allow room between cookies.
Bake 8-10 minutes until edges are brown and sponge is set. Let cool

*briefly* before removing. Cookies usually stick, so care and patience is
needed to get them off. (I have not tried my no-stick baking sheet with
these yet, but I have tried parchment paper with mixed results. Best removal
came from using a metal spatula with a really sharp edge.)

Try to bake all the cookies right after pouring. If you bake one sheet while
another sits, the second batch is considerably flatter than the first.
Baking two sheets at once may lengthen the baking time, depending on your
oven. I try to switch the sheets halfway through.

If eating cookies by themselves, dust lightly with powdered sugar after
baking. These also make great "sandwich" cookies for jams or spreads.
Sometimes I drop them in rounds instead of fingers.

Makes 2-3 dozen ,depending on size and shape

Hope this works for you...
