Almond Tuiles

Beginning of this year, I attended the Chinese New Year Pastry course from Creative Culinaire by Chef Judy Koh. The lesson taught us how to bake the Chinese New Year 'Must-Have' - Pineapple Tarts and Almond Blossom cookies. However, Chef Judy Koh was also very generous to share with us the simple recipe of these delicious Almond Tuiles.

Almond Tuiles

Ingredients:

100g egg white

100g plain flour

100g icing sugar

100g butter

Method:

(1) Cream the butter and sugar

(2) Add the egg white and plain flour. Mix well.

(3) Spread the batter very thinly on a baking tray lined with non-stick baking paper

(4) Sprinkle roasted alomnd flakes on the batter

(5) Bake in preheated oven at 180°C for 5-10 mins

(6) Once cooled, store in air-tight containers immediately because these tuiles absorb moisture very fast and it can become soft if leave to cool for too long.

Verdict:

(+) Batter is extremely simple to make

(-) It can be a challenge to spread the batter evenly on the baking tray so that the tuiles get an even light brown colour when it's done

(=) For the price these tuiles are selling outside, it's definitely worth to make it yourself at home!
