Savoiardi Biscuits Needed!
Hello everyone!
I’ve just recently relocated and am on the hunt for savoiardi biscuits (also known as ladyfingers or sponge fingers) to whip up some delicious tiramisus. The tricky part is that I’m near Reading station, and I haven’t been able to find any local shops that carry even a single brand, let alone a variety.
I’ve considered ordering them online, but I’d prefer to avoid that if I can, mainly to dodge shipping fees, possible delays, and the risk of broken pieces. Plus, we usually decide to make desserts on a whim, so being able to pop out and grab a pack would be great!
Does anyone know of a shop nearby or have any suggestions? If there’s an exceptional online store that’s really worth it, I’m open to that too! Thank you!
Hi there! Welcome to the area! For savoiardi biscuits, you might want to check out local Italian delis or grocery stores. There are often smaller shops that carry authentic Italian ingredients. Specifically, you could try places like Waitrose or Sainsbury’s—they sometimes have them in the international aisle.
Another option is to visit Lidl or Aldi, as they tend to have seasonal baking items that might include ladyfingers, especially around holidays. If you’re open to a little travel, checking out an Italian bakery in nearby towns could also yield some results.
If you do decide to go online, websites like Amazon or Italian grocery stores like Eataly often have a good selection, but if you’re looking for something local, hopefully, one of these suggestions helps! Happy baking! 🍰
