I was delightfully excited about this months challenge. Tuiles are yet another recipe of the sort that I wouldn't have thought to try. I love this one, such a simple cookie and so many variations. I decided to attempt the butterflies hence my title... I thought it would fit, plus they are kind of cute!
I actually did this challenge early on. I was just too excited about it! I'm glad I did cause last week I came down with the flu that was roaming around and let me tell you... I didn't even want to move! Many black and white movies later I was finally back to my old self.
Recipe
Yield: 20 small butterflies/ 6 large
65 gr/1/4 cup softened butter
60gr/1/2 cup sifted confectioner's sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 large egg whites (slightly whisked with a fork)
65gr/1/2 cup sifted all purpose flour
Oven: 180c/350F
Using a mixer fitted with a paddle on low speed cream butter, sugar and vanilla to a paste. Mix gradually add the egg whites, continue to add the flour in small batches and stir till you achieve a smooth paste. Try not to over mix. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least 30 mintues.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and chill that in the fridge for around 15 min. Using a stencil and a off sided spatula to spread batter. Leave some room in between your shapes, spread your batter in a thin even layer.
bake for 5-10min or until edges turn golden brown. Immediately release from bakingsheet and proceed to bend/shape the cookies, then let cool to harden.
For my Filling a choose a simple vanilla whipped cream with a swirl of sour cherry jam.
