Matcha Tuile

Ingredients

• 2 egg whites
• ½ cup confectioner’s sugar
• ¼ - ½ teaspoon Matcha Imperial
• 3 Tablespoons cooled melted butter
• 1 Tablespoon cream
• ½ cup flour
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon lemon juice
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon almond extract

1. . Preheat oven to 350
2. . Whisk the whites until foamy then whisk in the confectioner sugar
3. . Whisk in the remaining ingredients and blend to a smooth batter.
4. . Set a sheet of parchment on a cookie sheet and draw 3 x 4” rounds. Since the cookies bake very fast you can only bake 3 at a time. Prepare two or more sheets so that as one pan comes out – another goes in
5. . Butter the rounds
6. . Drop a couple of teaspoons of batter onto each of the rounds and spread as thinly and as evenly* as possible - using an offset spatula or the back of a spoon
7. . Bake for about 4- 5 minutes or until the edges of the cookies just start to brown
8. . Remove from the oven – allow to rest for a few seconds

• Notes:
  You can drape the cookie over the bottom of a glass – to make a mini ‘bowl’
  Drape over a rolling pin for the traditional ‘tuile’
  Shape into leaves or flowers. Be sure the batter is spread as smoothly as possible so it cooks evenly.
