Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 5 min.

Blend 30 g dessicated coconut and ½ teaspoon flour to obtain a fine powder.

Stage 2 - 2 min.

Melt 30 g butter in a pan over low heat. Remove from heat, add 50 g icing sugar and mix.

Stage 3 - 2 min.

Add the powdered coconut and mix again.

Stage 4 - 2 min.

Finish by adding 1 egg white and mix well.

The mixture is ready. Put in the refrigerator to wait.

Preheat oven to 180°C (360°F).

Stage 5 - 5 min.

Cut out a circle stencil of about 7 cm (3") diameter from a piece of card or plastic.

Stage 6 - 3 min.

Place a sheet of slicone or cooking parchment on a baking sheet.

Place the circle on this sheet and pour 1 teaspoonful of mixture in the centre.

Stage 7 - 2 min.

Spread the mixture out carefully over the circle with a palette knife, while holding the circle still with your other hand.

The thickness of the finished tuile depends on the amount of mixture: the more you use, the thicker your tuile will be.

Stage 8 - 1 min.

Stage 10 - 30 min.

Continue until all the mixture has been used, then put in the oven...

Stage 11 - 10 min.

...for about 10 minutes, or until the tuiles take on a lovely colour.

Stage 12 - 10 min.

Unstick the tuiles from the sheet while still hot, and place to cool on a rack.

If you'd like to give them the true tuile shape, leave them to cool pressed over something cylindrical, like a glass or a bottle laid on its side.

Remarks

The tuiles must be kept in an airtight tin, otherwise they will go soft rapidly. Unfortunately they only keep well for a day or two.

Keeping: 1 or 2 days in a closed metal box.
