Lady-fingers

Oven, in the book's wordsA hot oven

Ingredients

sponge cake batter
butter
buttered paper

Directions

The book says “a hot oven”. The 400°F (200°C) in the steps is the modern equivalent, not the book's own figure.

Prepare a sponge cake batter as directed.
Fill a buttered paper funnel with the batter.
Squeeze out enough batter onto buttered papers to form cakes that are 4 inches long and 1 inch wide.
Bake immediately in a hot oven at 400°F (200°C).
