Description
These Orange Tuiles are thin, crisp, and delicately flavored cookies with a bright citrus aroma and subtle buttery sweetness. Their lacy texture and elegant curved shape make them a perfect accompaniment to tea, coffee, or as a garnish for plated desserts.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup (60g) unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup (40g) powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup (30g) all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg white
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
- In a bowl, cream together softened butter and powdered sugar until smooth.
- Add egg white and vanilla extract; whisk until fully incorporated.
- Stir in flour and orange zest until a smooth batter forms.
- Spoon about 1 teaspoon of batter onto the prepared baking sheet and spread thinly into a 3-inch circle. Repeat, leaving space between each.
- Bake for 6–8 minutes, or until edges are golden brown.
- Remove from oven and immediately lift cookies with a spatula and drape over a rolling pin or bottle to form a curved shape. Let cool and harden.
- Repeat with remaining batter. Serve once fully cooled.
Notes
- Work quickly after baking—tuiles harden fast as they cool.
- If cookies become too stiff to shape, return to oven for 30 seconds to soften.
- Add a touch of orange extract for extra citrus flavor.
- Perfect as a garnish for ice cream, mousse, or panna cotta.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
