Ingredients

  • 125g flaked almonds
  • 125g caster sugar
  • 2 drops of vanilla extract
  • drop of almond extract
  • 2 egg whites
  • 25g unsalted butter
  • 20g plain white flour

Directions

  1. Using a spatula, mix together the flaked almonds, sugar, vanilla extract, almond extract and egg whites in a shallow bowl.
  2. Melt the butter in a pan over a medium heat. While it is still hot, pour it onto the egg white mixture. Mix thoroughly. Cover with cling film and chill overnight.

  3. The next day, preheat the oven to 150˚C/fan 130˚C/gas 2. Sift the flour into the bowl with the mixture and mix well. Place teaspoonfuls of dough on 2 baking trays lined with baking paper, spaced well apart.

  4. Flatten each biscuit with the back of a tablespoon dipped in cold water and bake for 15-18 minutes. The tuiles should be an even golden colour with no white in the centre. Leave the tuiles to cool on the trays, then carefully peel off. Serve with ice cream or after-dinner coffee.
