Almond “Tuiles”

(Dvd)

Servings: 8
Preparation and cooking time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

# 2 egg whites
# 1/3 cup sugar
# 1 and 1/2 oz (3 Tbs) butter
# 1/3 cup flour
# 1/3 cup slivered almonds


Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Melt butter in microwave or double boiler.
Mix the egg whites with the sugar (without making them rise).
Add the flour and melted butter, mixing with an electric mixer to avoid lumps.
Place a piece of parchment on a cookie sheet and drop a teaspoon of dough onto it. Flatten the dough with the back of the spoon to make them round.
Place the slivered almonds on each round cookie.
Cook for approximately 10 to 12 minutes. The edges of the cookie should be golden.
If you wish to give a domed shape to the cookie, place them onto a rolling pin or the side of a glass when you take them out of the oven.
