Almond Tuiles

Before starting this Almond Tuiles recipe, make sure you have organised all the necessary ingredients.

Place the egg whites in a mixing bowl.

Add the castor sugar, a pinch of salt...

... and flour.

Combine well with a whisk.

Add the melted butter. Combine again.

Add the flaked almonds.

Combine with an Exoglass spatula.

Slightly grease a baking sheet. Prefer the use of an oil spray, which makes the greasing process quicker and the release from moulds easier.

Scoop the mixture with a teaspoon and place on the baking sheet.

Dip a fork in cold milk...

... and use it to spread the mixture in a round shape. This will prevent the mixture from sticking to the fork.

Bake at 180°C (gas 4)...

... until golden.

Depending on the oven, one side might cook quicker than the other. In that case, the tuiles that are cooked first should be removed with a spatula.

With the golden side facing down, line the tuiles in a tuile curving mould...

... or shape them using a rolling pin, a bottle or any item with a curved shape.

Tuiles stay soft while hot. They solidify and become brittle as they cool down. Tuiles are easy to keep in an airtight container. Enjoy with tea or coffee!
