Coconut tuiles


Coconut tuiles
Delicate tuiles with coconut. Very thin, they are both crunchy and melt-in-the-mouth.

Stage 3 - 2 min.
Coconut tuiles
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.
Coconut tuiles
Cut out a circle stencil of about 7 cm (3") diameter from a piece of card or plastic.

Stage 6 - 3 min.
Coconut tuiles
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.
Coconut tuiles
Spread the mixture out carefully over the circle with a palette knife, while holding the circle still with your other hand.

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

Stage 12 - 10 min.
Coconut tuiles
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.
