Hello Darling Daring Bakers! I am hoping you really are daring because I need help with a recipe/technique that is (I think!) the hardest thing in the world!

Does anyone have any foolproof tips for making good tuiles? I tried to make some pepper ones this morning from a Michel Roux cookbook and they were a disaster. This is not the first time I have wound up with thin crunchy slabs that refuse to come off the paper/baking sheet and are pliable for all of about, oooh, 30 secs. Am I cooking them too long? Are my recipes useless?! I should add that I have the same issue with almond tuiles.

I just want to be able to garnish my desserts!!! Is this too much to ask?!?!

Thanks,

Emma.

The DBers did tuiles in Jan 2009 and I found that the thickness of the stencil was the most important aspect of making them. I used an old ice cream container (about 1/2mm) to make my shapes and that shaping them was really an art not a science! See here for my post on tuiles. You can reheat them in the oven so you reshape them if they don't work out the first time.

To address your questions :-
Q1 Try the DBers recipe it worked for me (on the above link)
Q2 I used a silicone baking sheet and had no problems
Q3 I found that they only stay soft and pliable for 30-50 secs at most - so simple shapes are best - you can reheat them to make them soft and reshape them.

Thanks for sharing this information. I really like your way of expressing the opinions and sharing the information. It is good to move as chance bring new things in life, paves the way for advancement, etc. But it is well known to everyone that moving to new location with bulk of goods is not an easy task to move or shift from one place to other place because I have experienced about that and I face the problem like that. There I go to village near to my city faced that problem there.
