Tuilles

Hey guys, so today I am going to tell you how to make delicious tuilles, they are seen as technical but once you get the hang of it, it is really easy.
So lets begin, you will need -
65g plain flour
65g icing sugar
65g softened butter (try to use unsalted)

2 egg whites

Firstly, preheat your oven to 160 degrees Celsius. Sift flour and icing sugar into a bowl. Place butter and egg whites in a mixer or processor and mix until smooth, add flour and icing sugar and mix again until smooth. Refrigerate for 5 minutes or until chilled.

Meanwhile, draw the size of the tuilles you want on a piece of paper, this will be your stencil.

Once chilled, use a palette knife to thinly spread your mixture onto greaseproof paper, use the stencil underneath the paper (you could also use a butter knife but the spatula keeps it really flat). Cook for 5-6 minutes, until slightly golden on the edges. Carefully remove from oven, using a spatula immediately place the tuille onto a rolling pin and let cool to shape.

TIP: Test out different thickness to know what works best. Also try different objects to cool the tuilles on. If your stencil didn't make your tuilles perfectly round, just run your finger around the edge to neaten them up

So there is how to make the tuilles from our dessert poached pears with tuilles and cream
Until next time, keep on cooking
