Before I go any further, I must say Maltese are NOT cannibals.
I don't know where our recipes got their names.
I know that a few weeks ago a posted Ma's Death Man's Bones recipe.
A simple, light cookie.
Not a bit of bone in sight.
And wasn't that a nice recipe for All Souls' Day?
Okay... this week I'm posting Ma's recipe for Ladyfingers.
Chill.
You've most likely had them before.
Either as is or as an ingredient in Tiramisu.
A nice simple cookie that dunks well.
Bliss.
