Lacy Lemon Tuiles Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the sugar and flour, then stir in the lemon juice and melted butter until smooth.
• Refrigerate the batter for a few hours.
• When you are ready to bake the tuiles-.
• Preheat oven to 400*F.
• Place 1 teaspoon of batter on a parchment lined cookie sheet and spread it out as thinly as you can with the back of a spoon (or your finger).
• Repeat until sheet has 6 cookies on it.
• Bake for about 7 minutes, or until cookies are lacy and browning at the edges.
• Remove from oven and let rest for just 1 minute.
• Remove the tuiles with a thin spatula and drape over a rolling pin or wine bottle until cool.
• Repeat with second tray.
• Best to serve that day.

Steps:

• Using an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, mix together the sugar and flour until well combined. With the mixer on low speed, drizzle in the orange juice and the lemon juice and mix until smooth. Drizzle in the cooled melted butter slowly and add the zests. Increase the speed to medium and mix until the batter is completely smooth. Refrigerate at least 4 hours (overnight is best).
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. For each tuile, drop a heaping teaspoon of batter onto a non-stick baking sheet with a non-stick liner, leaving three inches in between. Using a small, offset spatula or the back of a spoon dipped in cold milk to prevent sticking, gently pat each mound of batter into a very thin, even 4-inch round. Bake tuiles until they are golden brown all over, 9 to 11 minutes.
• Using a cannoli mold and working very quickly, roll each tuile around the mold. When the tuiles have cooled, carefully slide off the mold. Tuiles may be made smaller to form around mini tuile molds.
• Using a piping bag fitted with a star tip, fill each tuile shell with buttercream. Garnish with fresh seasonal fruit.
• Place egg whites and sugar in a stainless steel mixing bowl. Set bowl in a pot of simmering water, whisking constantly, until hot to the touch. Place whites in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Whip on highest setting until whites are cool and stiff. Add softened butter bit by bit until all the butter has been added. Add the vanilla and the softened goat cheese bit by bit until all has been added and the buttercream is stiff.

Steps:

• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with nonstick liner.
• Grind sugar and zest in a food processor, pulsing 4 or 5 times, until combined well, then transfer to a bowl. Add butter and vanilla and beat with an electric mixer at medium speed until pale and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Reduce speed to low, then add egg whites and mix until just combined, about 30 seconds. Add flour and mix until just combined, about 30 seconds.
• Transfer batter to pastry bag and pipe 12 (3-inch-long) lines, about 1 inch apart, on baking sheet. (Be careful not to squeeze bag too hard - lines should only be 1/4 inch wide.)
• Bake tuiles until edges begin to brown, 7 to 9 minutes. Let tuiles stand on baking sheet 20 seconds (just long enough to allow them to firm up slightly), then transfer with offset spatula to rolling pin (stabilized on a cooling rack), draping them diagonally and wiping spatula clean before transferring next cookie. (If cookies become too crisp to drape, put them back in oven for a few seconds to soften.) Make more tuiles in same manner, using a cool baking sheet and wiping nonstick liner clean with paper towels between batches.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F with rack in middle. Line a large baking sheet with liner.
• Whisk together sugar and egg white until sugar has dissolved. Whisk in remaining ingredients until smooth.
• Spoon 1/2 tablespoon of batter for each cookie, 2 inches apart and in staggered rows, on baking sheet (about 6 cookies), spreading with offset spatula into 4-inch-long cookies (straight or curvy). Bake until pale golden, 7 to 8 minutes. Transfer cookies, while still hot, with a spatula to a rack to cool completely, or curl cookies by draping them over a rolling pin to cool.
• Cool sheet and liner before baking more tuiles in same manner.
