Broas (Ladyfingers)

I remember my co - worker would always bring broas or ladyfingers when she came back from her hometown, Lucena City.

When I first made this recipe, I used a piping bag fitted with a round tip. This results in a thin biscuit usually eaten with ice cream, similar to the French sponge fingers.
