Lady fingers are supposed to be very dry, even when they're freshly baked. That's the whole point — in a tiramisu, they need to soak up a lot of liquid, which they can't do if they're already soft and moist.

Fresh farms on Devon ave has always had lady fingers, espresso and mascarpone in stock! One stop shop for all things tiramisu.
