Equipment

1 mixing bowl
1 Whisk
1 baking tray

Ingredients

½ cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons butter, melted cooled down
⅓ cup flour
3 egg whites
½ cup sliced almonds
1 teaspoon almond extract

Instructions

Preheat the oven at 325F.
Melt the butter in the microwave (small increment of 10 seconds) and set aside.
In a bowl, whisk together the sugar and egg whites without bringing them to be beaten white, just until it is foamy.
Add flour, almond extract and melted butter (cooled down). Stir well until well incorporated.
On an oven tray lined with baking paper, with a teaspoon scoop some of mix and spread it thinly to form an oval.
Sprinkle with the thinly sliced almonds.
Bake for 11-12 minutes or until the borders are golden. Have a rolling pin or bottle ready when it comes out of the oven. As soon as it is out, while still warm, delicately take the tuile and place it on the rolling pin until it cools down so it takes the round shape.

Notes

Store in a container for more freshness for 2 days.
Cool down the butter, do not skip this step, otherwise it will change the texture.
If your tuile is not crunchy, it was either to thick or not bake long enough.
