Delicious and crispy, these flaked almonds tuiles can be served with a chocolate mousse, vanilla ice cream or crème brûlée. They are also perfect with a nice cup of tea or coffee.
Ingredients
- 25 g soft butter
- 125 g caster sugar
- 40 g plain flour
- 50 ml fresh orange juice, sieved
- 65 g flaked almonds
How to Make It
- Using an electric mixer fitted with a paddle, mix the butter, caster sugar and flour until it has an even consistency. Then slowly incorporate the fresh orange juice.
- By hand with a spatula, stir in the flaked almonds and then rest the mixture in the fridge for a minimum of 4 hours before use.
- On a non-stick baking tray or a tray lined with a silicone mat, place 12 teaspoonfuls of mix in staggered rows, separated by 15 cm. Flatten them out with your fingertips and form them into a round shape. Bake on a high shelf in the oven (above the fan) for 10 minutes, then turn the tray and continue cooking for another 3–5 minutes until golden brown.
- Cool the tuiles on the tray for 2 minutes then lift them up with a plastic scraper and shape them around a rolling pin. Store in an airtight container.
- Repeat steps 3 and 4 until all the mixture has been used.
