Tuile with almond petals
12 servings
40 minutes
Almond petal tuile is an exquisite French cookie, light and crispy like a thin wafer. Its name comes from the French word 'tuile', meaning 'tile'. Fragile almond petals mixed with airy egg whites and sweet butter create a rich, slightly nutty flavor. These delicate wafers can be served alone with coffee or used as elegant decorations for cakes and mousses.
