Basic Tuile Biscuits

Basic Tuile Biscuits Recipe:

Basic Tuile Biscuits

120 gr. (4 1/2 oz) unsalted butter
150 gr. (5 oz)    icing sugar, sifted
3                  egg whites
120 gr. (4 1/2 oz) plain flour

Soften the butter and add the icing sugar, beating
until white. Add the egg whites and fold in the flour.
The mix is ready and should now be chilled to set.

Pre-heat the oven to 180 C/350 F and butter a baking
sheet.

Spread the mix very thinly into 13 cm (5 in) discs.
This can be made easy by cutting a 13 cm (5 in) circle
from a thin plastic ice-cream tub lid, then just
placeing it on the tray and spreading the mix in,
keeping level with the lid. Bake the tuiles in the
pre-heated oven for 5-6 minutes until totally golden
brown. Remove from the tray while still hot and place
over a tin can or mold to shape the basket.

Serves 4
