Is it better to use soft or hard ladyfingers when making tiramisu?
I didn't realize they came in two varieties.
Best Answer
I always use the hard ones and they contribute to a good end result.
I guess with the soft ones it can end up soggy. The hard ones will absorb the liquids and will get a little softer, so the end result won't break down immediately.
