So here is my first foray into French pudding baking! Taste wise, a total success, everyone enjoyed this recipe Les tuiles aux amandes (Almond tuiles). However, this cookery book has no pictures whatsoever.... so those final preparation and presentation points are all left to guess work!
I've never made/seen tuiles before so I wasn't sure how they should look and my first attempt saw me trying to wrap them up too tight (around a wooden spoon) rather than merely curling them (over a big rolling pin) so shape wise, in the end I just left them as flat biscuits!
The sneaky technique of giving them a lovely dusting with icing sugar did however cover all manner of sins and finished of a lovely dessert. I'll definitely bake this one again and next time I might make a tasty little sauce to drizzle on the top too.....
Oh, yeah defo a tasty sauce next time. Though these were great anyway.
