It’s that time again for another Daring Bakers challenge. This month's challenge is brought to us by Karen of Bake My Day and Zorra of 1x umrühren bitte aka Kochtopf. They have chosen Tuiles from The Chocolate Book by Angélique Schmeink and Nougatine and Chocolate Tuiles from Michel Roux.
I’ll admit that I wasn’t that excited about this month’s recipe. I can appreciate the lightness of this recipe after all the holiday goodies, it was nice to have a lighter treat to make. However, I’m not one to exercise my creativity often, so with all the leniency we had I was stumped. I liked the butterfly idea but in the end didn’t have any luck. I tried drawing an outline on the back of parchment paper but that didn’t work. I did not try the stencil. I thought I could make some bowls for the sorbet I was going to make, but I couldn’t get the consistency of the dough right to form them good. I basically ended up using a rolling pin and attempted a fortune cookie shape. I did manage to get a few “bowls” and got a picture with the orange sorbet. I even squeezed the orange juice myself to make the frozen treat.
The flavors of the cookies were really good though. I found it difficult to stop eating them once I got started.
The only real issue I had while making the dough was that I didn’t bring my egg whites to room temperature before combining with the butter. I had a mental lapse I suppose and the butter hardened in little bits among the egg whites. I tried letting them sit for a little while to come to room temp but it was taking too long and I was impatient so I just added the flour and hoped for the best. In the end it turned out just fine.
Thanks to Karen and Zorra for hosting this month.
