Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup powdered erythritol
Wet Ingredients
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large egg whites
- 1 teaspoon orange extract
- 1 tablespoon orange zest
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour and powdered erythritol, ensuring they are well blended for even sweetness and texture.
- Add wet ingredients: Stir the melted unsalted butter, egg whites, orange extract, and orange zest into the dry mixture until you achieve a smooth, homogenous batter.
- Portion the batter: Using a spoon, drop small spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each for spreading.
- Shape the tuiles: Gently spread each spoonful into thin, circular shapes to form the delicate tuile cookie profile.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges become golden brown and crisp.
- Cool the cookies: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the tuiles to cool completely on the sheet before transferring them to a wire rack, which helps maintain their crispiness.
Notes
- Ensure the tuiles are spread very thinly to achieve their characteristic crispness.
- Use fresh orange zest for the brightest flavor and aroma.
- Store cooled tuiles in an airtight container to keep them crisp.
- Customize sweetness by adjusting erythritol amount if desired.
- Make sure the melted butter is not too hot to avoid cooking the egg whites prematurely.
