Angelina Broas, also known as Lady Finger Biscuits, are a type of sweet, sponge-like biscuit that is popular in the Philippines. They are commonly used in Filipino desserts and pastries, such as cakes, tiramisu, and trifle, and are known for their light and delicate texture.
Angelina Broas are typically made from simple ingredients such as eggs, sugar, flour, and flavorings such as vanilla or lemon. They are often shaped into long, slender fingers and have a soft and spongy texture when fresh. They are usually lightly sweetened, allowing them to complement other flavors in desserts without being overly sweet.
These biscuits are often used in Filipino desserts where they are soaked in syrup or other liquids to add moisture and flavor. They are commonly used as layers in cakes or as a base for tiramisu, a popular Italian dessert with coffee-soaked Lady Finger Biscuits layered with mascarpone cheese and cocoa.
Angelina Broas are typically enjoyed as a treat or dessert and are a staple ingredient in many Filipino desserts. They are often served during special occasions, celebrations, or as a sweet treat with coffee or tea. They can also be enjoyed on their own as a light and airy snack.
