Best 20 Tuiles Recipes

TUILES

Steps:

• In an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter at medium speed until creamy, about 30 seconds. Add the confectioners' sugar and flour and mix until combined. Add the egg whites one at a time, beating after each addition just until well blended, about 1 minute in all. Refrigerate the batter for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Have a rolling pin at hand. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
• Spoon 2 teaspoons of the batter onto the baking sheet and with a small, offset metal spatula, spread it evenly into a 3-inch circle. Repeat to form more tuiles, baking only 6 to 8 at a time. Refrigerate the remaining batter while you bake the tuiles.
• Bake the tuiles for 4 to 6 minutes, until lightly browned around the edges. Remove from the oven and immediately shape the tuiles, lifting up each one with a metal spatula and draping it over the rolling pin so it curves, just until set. Repeat with the remaining batter. Store the tuiles in a cool dry place in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

VANILLA OR CHOCOLATE TUILES

Steps:

• Beat butter and sugar together with an electric mixer on medium-high speed. Beat in the egg whites, one at a time. Beat in the vanilla.
• Lower the speed and add the flour or flour-cocoa mixture (see Cook's Note) and mix until just combined. Do not overmix. Cover bowl and chill for at least 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Cut a small hole (about 3 1/2 inch diameter) in a thin piece of cardboard or plastic to serve as a template in forming the tuiles. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicon mat and place the stencil on it. Using a small off-set spatula, place a small amount of the batter in the center of the hole of the stencil and spread it out evenly. Carefully lift the stencil off. Repeat for more cookies.
• Bake in preheated oven until lightly brown around the edges, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and while still hot, remove tuiles from the pan and drape them over a rolling pin. Allow to sit a few minutes to harden and cool. Store in an airtight container.

TUILES

Steps:

• Sift the flour, sugar, and salt into a small mixing bowl. Add the egg whites and then the melted unsalted butter, and whisk until just combined. Set the batter aside to rest for 1 1/2 hours before using, or cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Heavily butter 3 pieces of parchment paper, and place one each on three baking sheets. Using 1 1/2 Tbsps. per tuile, spoon the batter onto the baking sheets, 5 per sheet. The cookies should be at least 2 inches apart, as they spread during baking. Dipping a finger in the milk first, spread each cookie into a 3-inch round. To insure even baking, make the edges no thinner than the centers.
• Bake the tuiles 8 to 10 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers are just beginning to color. Remove the cookies from the oven. As soon as they are cool enough to handle, remove the tuiles from the baking sheets and drape them around rolling pins or wine bottles. If the cookies become too cool and stiff to bend, return them to the oven for a minute or so and they will soften up.

LACY LEMON TUILES

Steps:

• Combine the sugar and flour, then stir in the lemon juice and melted butter until smooth.
• Refrigerate the batter for a few hours.
• When you are ready to bake the tuiles-.
• Preheat oven to 400*F.
• Place 1 teaspoon of batter on a parchment lined cookie sheet and spread it out as thinly as you can with the back of a spoon (or your finger).
• Repeat until sheet has 6 cookies on it.
• Bake for about 7 minutes, or until cookies are lacy and browning at the edges.
• Remove from oven and let rest for just 1 minute.
• Remove the tuiles with a thin spatula and drape over a rolling pin or wine bottle until cool.
• Repeat with second tray.
• Best to serve that day.

ALMOND TUILES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F. Coat a heavy baking sheet well with cooking spray or line with parchment paper.
• In a bowl whisk together ground almonds, flour, sugar, and salt and whisk in whites, butter, and almond extract until combined well. Drop rounded teaspoons batter about 4 inches apart onto baking sheet and with back of a spoon spread into 3 1/2-inch rounds. Sprinkle each cookie with about 1/2 tablespoon sliced almonds and bake in middle of oven 8 minutes, or until golden.
• Working quickly, remove cookies, 1 at a time, from baking sheet with a thin spatula and drape over a rolling pin to create a curved shape. (If the cookies become too brittle to form on the rolling pin, return baking sheet to oven a few seconds to allow cookies to soften.) Cool cookies completely on rolling pin and transfer to an airtight container. Make more cookies with remaining batter in same manner, spraying or lining baking sheet for each batch. Tuiles may be made 2 days ahead and kept in an airtight container at room temperature.

CITRUS LACE TUILES WITH BUTTERCREAM

Steps:

• Using an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, mix together the sugar and flour until well combined. With the mixer on low speed, drizzle in the orange juice and the lemon juice and mix until smooth. Drizzle in the cooled melted butter slowly and add the zests. Increase the speed to medium and mix until the batter is completely smooth. Refrigerate at least 4 hours (overnight is best).
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. For each tuile, drop a heaping teaspoon of batter onto a non-stick baking sheet with a non-stick liner, leaving three inches in between. Using a small, offset spatula or the back of a spoon dipped in cold milk to prevent sticking, gently pat each mound of batter into a very thin, even 4-inch round. Bake tuiles until they are golden brown all over, 9 to 11 minutes.
• Using a cannoli mold and working very quickly, roll each tuile around the mold. When the tuiles have cooled, carefully slide off the mold. Tuiles may be made smaller to form around mini tuile molds.
• Using a piping bag fitted with a star tip, fill each tuile shell with buttercream. Garnish with fresh seasonal fruit.
• Place egg whites and sugar in a stainless steel mixing bowl. Set bowl in a pot of simmering water, whisking constantly, until hot to the touch. Place whites in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whip on highest setting until whites are cool and stiff. Add softened butter bit by bit until all the butter has been added. Add the vanilla and the softened goat cheese bit by bit until all has been added and the buttercream is stiff.

COCOA BUTTERMILK CAKE WITH SCROLLED TUILES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter two 8-by- 12-inch cake pans, and line with parchment paper. Butter parchment, and lightly dust with cocoa powder; set aside. Sift cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt into a medium bowl; set aside.
• Put butter and sugar into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; mix on medium speed until pale and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Mix in eggs, 1 at a time, and vanilla. Reduce speed to low. Add cocoa mixture in 2 batches, alternating with the buttermilk.
• Divide batter evenly between pans. Bake until a cake tester inserted into centers comes out clean, about 35 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack 15 minutes. Invert cakes onto rack; remove parchment, and reinvert. Let cool completely.
• Trim cakes level. Place 1 cake on a platter. Spread with 1 cup frosting. Top with remaining cake. Spread 4 1/2 cups frosting on top and sides. Fill a pastry bag fitted with a petal tip (such as Ateco #126) with remaining frosting. Pipe a ruffled border along edges. Cake can be refrigerated up to 1 day. Serve with scrolled tuiles.

PARMESAN TUILES

Steps:

• Preheat an empty medium nonstick skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes. Sprinkle a scant 3 tablespoons of the cheese into the skillet, making an oval about 4 by 2-inches. Cook until the cheese melts and is golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Carefully remove with a spatula, and drape over a wooden rolling pin. Repeat with the remaining cheese. The tuiles will crisp as they cool. Serve as a garnish for salads and sandwiches.

ALMOND TUILES

Steps:

• Put the cream and butter in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat until the butter melts.
• Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla.
• Put the almonds, sugar, flour and zest in a medium bowl and stir to mix thouroughly with a rubber spatula.
• add warm cream mixture and stir with spatula until batter is smooth.
• Cover the batter with plastic wrap and refrigerate until THOROUGHLY chilled and thickened- preferably overnight.
• The batter can be made ahead and refrigerated, wrapped airtight, for 4 days.
• Baking the Tuiles: Preheat the over to 325 degrees and place your oven rack in the middle or lower third of the oven.
• You will need a rolling pin, wine bottle or some other cylindrical object to form the tuiles.
• They can also be formed over the bottom of a cup to make a container for mousse or berries etc.
• Stir the chilled batter to remix.
• Drop batter onto a parchment or silpat lined sheetpan, allowing 1 teaspoon of batter for each tuile.
• Leave 2 inches between each one.
• There is no need to spread out the batter- it will spread itself.
• You can make these larger if you want, but will have to adjust baking times accordingly.
• Bake the tuiles for 5-8 minutes until they spread and turn honey brown.
• DO NOT LEAVE THE KITCHEN- the tuiles will go from almost done to overdone in a very short time.
• Remove sheetpan and allow to cool for about 30 seconds.
• Forming the Tuiles: slide the tuiles back and forth with your fingers or a spatula to release them.
• Pick them up one by one and lay on the rolling pin.
• Press lightly on the tuile with your hand to get a nice curved shape.
• The cookies will mold and cool in a few seconds, so you should remove the shaped cookies as soon as you need room on the rolling pin for more.
• If the tuiles become cool and hard to remove from the sheetpan, put them back in the oven for 1 minute and then continue.
• Repeat with the rest of the batter making sure that the sheetpans cool between batches.
• Decorating the tuiles: Scrape the melted chocolate into a parchment cone or plastic zip-lock bag.
• Snip the end making a tiny hole and pipe very thin lines across the tuiles.
• You can also use a fork dipped into the chocolate and then waved back and forth over the tuiles.
• Serve as soon as the chocolate sets.

• Transfer the ground sesame mixture to a medium saucepan and add the butter, orange zest and juice, cornstarch and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture comes to a simmer and thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl; stir in the flour, vanilla and the remaining 2 tablespoons sesame seeds. Refrigerate until cooled and thickened, about 45 minutes.
• Drop heaping teaspoonfuls of batter, 4 inches apart, onto the prepared baking sheets. Lightly sprinkle the tops with more sesame seeds. Bake, 1 baking sheet at a time, until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet until just set enough to lift with a spatula, 1 to 2 minutes, then carefully transfer to a rack. While the cookies are still warm, curl up 2 sides of each cookie with your fingers, then let cool completely. Repeat with the remaining batter (reline the baking sheets between batches).

• Bake tuiles until edges begin to brown, 7 to 9 minutes. Let tuiles stand on baking sheet 20 seconds (just long enough to allow them to firm up slightly), then transfer with offset spatula to rolling pin (stabilized on a cooling rack), draping them diagonally and wiping spatula clean before transferring next cookie. (If cookies become too crisp to drape, put them back in oven for a few seconds to soften.) Make more tuiles in same manner, using a cool baking sheet and wiping nonstick liner clean with paper towels between batches.

• Bake until pale golden, 7 to 9 minutes. Using a spatula, drape hot cookies over a rolling pin or empty wine bottle, pressing them gently to curl.
• Make more cookies in same manner on cooled baking sheet.

HONEY SESAME TUILES

Steps:

• Cream butter and sugar using a paddle. Add honey and mix. Add whites and mix. Add flour and mix. A proper tuile batter is smooth. On a fiberglass mat or parchment paper, spread tuile batter evenly and thinly into 5 to 6-inch rounds by using a wet finger, circling outward. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake at 300 degrees until tuiles are brown. Check often. Tuiles can be shaped when they are still hot. Place them in muffin tins or ramekins to form a cup shape. Work quickly.

CHARLIE TROTTERS WHOLE ROASTED FIGS WITH GOATS' CHEESE ICE CREAM, SPICY FIG SAUCE AND OATMEAL TUILES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• To make the tuiles: In a mixer fitted with a paddle, cream the butter, sugar, and lemon zest. Add the honey and flour and mix well. Spread about 1/2 teaspoon of the batter onto a Silpat-lined or nonstick sheet pan. Use a small offset spatula to spread the tuile into a 1 3/4-inch circle. Repeat the process, making at least 18 tuiles (the extra will allow for breakage). Sprinkle the top of each tuile with a pinch of rolled oats, reserving 1/2 tablespoon for garnish. Bake for 5 minutes, or until golden brown. (The tuiles may be cut with a ring cutter after cooking for a more precise shape.) Immediately transfer the tuile to a countertop or other flat surface to cool.
• To prepare the figs: Cut the tops off 6 of the figs. Use a small spoon to press a cavity into each fig and dip the whole fig in the simple syrup. Fill the figs with the port. (If the figs have any holes in the bottoms, cut small pieces off the tops to fill the holes.) Place the filled figs on a sheetpan and bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes, or until they have softened. Slice the remaining 6 figs in half lengthwise and then cut them crosswise into 1/4-inch thick slices. Warm the slices in the remaining simple syrup.
• To make the goat cheese cream: Thoroughly combine 2 tablespoons of the heavy cream with the goat cheese and granulated sugar. Whisk the remaining 1/4 cup cream until it reaches soft peaks and fold into the goat cheese mixture.
• To assemble, place 3 to 4 fig slices on one half of each plate. Place a small spoonful of the goat cheese cream on the figs and top with a tuile. Spoon another small spoonful of the cream, 3 to 4 fig slices, another tablespoon of the cream, and a tuile on top of the first stack. Build another layer with a spoon of cream, figs, another spoonful of cream, and a tuile. Place a roasted fig alongside the stacked figs and top with a quenelle of Goat Cheese Ice Cream. Spoon the Spicy Fig Sauce around the plates and sprinkle with the thyme sprigs and the remaining 1/2 tablespoon oatmeal.
• Prepare an ice water bath. Bring the cream and milk to a boil. Whisk together the egg yolks, and sugar, and slowly pour in some of the hot cream to temper the eggs. Pour the eggs into the cream and continue to cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the mixture coats the back of a spoon and steam rises from the top. Whisk together the corn syrup and goat cheese and then whisk this mixture into the cream mixture until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve and chill over the ice water bath. Freeze in an ice cream machine. Keep frozen until ready to use.
• Cook the sugar in a heavy-bottomed saute pan over medium heat for 3 minutes, or until golden brown. Add the orange juice and bring to a boil. Add the figs, star anise, and peppercorns, bring to a boil, and cook for 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and strain through a fine mesh sieve, pushing on the solids to remove as much liquid as possible. If necessary, thin with a little warm water to a make a sauce consistency.

ANISE TUILES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a large cookie sheet.
• In a large bowl, beat egg whites, confectioner's sugar, and flour until blended and smooth. Beat in melted butter, anise extract, and salt.
• Drop 1 heaping teaspoon mixture onto cookie sheet. Repeat to make 3 more cookies, about 3 inches apart. With small spatula, spread cookie to a 3-inch round. (Do not place more than 4 on cookie sheet because, after baking, cookies must be shaped quickly before hardening.).
• Bake cookies 5 to 7 minutes until edges are golden. With pancake turner, quickly remove 1 cookie to wire rack. With hands, gently shape warm cookie to flute edges. Repeat with remaining cookies on cookie sheet. If cookies become too hard to shape, return cookie sheet to oven to soften cookies slightly. Repeat with remaining batter. (Batter will become slightly thicker upon standing.) Store in tightly covered container.

SHRIMP AND POLENTA WITH CRISPY PANCETTA TUILES

Steps:

• Prehat the oven to 400 with a rack in the center position. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Line a plate with paper towels. Place the pancetta rounds side by side on teh prepared pan and bake until crisp, 5 to 7 mins. Remove to the lined plate to cook and drain; set aside (keep the parchment on the sheet pan). Place the polenta rounds on the used sheet pan, right on top of the pancetta drippings, positioning them closely together so they form a kind of raft. In a large bowl, toss together the cherry tomatoes with 1 tsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp pepper. Scatter the tomatoes around and on top of the polenta. Bake the polenta and tomatoes for about 10 mins. Meanwhile, whisk together the remaining 1.5 tbsp olive oil with the lemon juice, garlic, oregano, worcestershire sauce, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper, and the chives in a large bowl. Add the shirmp and toss to coat. Set them aside at room temp to marinate while the polenta and tomatoes cook. After the polenta and tomatoes have baked for 10 mins, arrange shrimp on top in a single layer (make sure the shrimp do not overlap) and return the pan to the oven. Bake until the shrimp are pink and just cooked through, an additional 8 to 10 mins. Serve the shrimp, tomatoes, and polenta warm, with the pancetta tuiles on top.

SESAME TUILES

Steps:

• 1. In a frying pan, toast the sesame seeds over medium heat until the seeds are fragrant and the white sesame seeds are golden brown. 2. In a medium bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, melted butter and sesame seeds and mix by hand until combined. Wrap and refrigerate the dough for an hour. 3. Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Take the dough out of the refrigerator and let stand 5 to 10 minutes. Lightly stir to re-incorporate all the ingredients. Use a piece of flexible cutting mat or material of similar thickness such as a plastic coffee can lid to make a template; cut out a roughly 1-by-3-inch oval design. Place the template on a Silpat-lined baking sheet and spread the dough evenly into the cutout with a small offset spatula or a spoon. Leaving 1 to 2 inches between cookies, repeat with the remaining batter. 4. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until crisp and lightly golden. Cool on a rack.
