Tuiles are another useful item that can serve as an accompaniment to a creamy dessert as well as a petit four. The name derives from the shape, which is reminiscent of the saddle-shaped terracotta roof tiles used in southern France.

Ingredients

  • 4 egg whites
  • 225g (8 oz/1 heaping cup)

Method

Oil a baking sheet and put a teaspoon of the mixture onto it. Use the back of a fork to spread the mixture into a circle, then sprinkle on some chopped pistachios. Repeat until you have filled the baking sheet, spacing the tuile
