Preparation

Step 1

To make the tuiles, first start by preparing the form you will use to shape your tuile. You can decide to use a rolling pin. I made a small cone out of carboard and I covered it with foil paper.

Then preheat your oven at 420 F (210 C).

Chop the pistachios coarsely.

Mix together the butter, then add the sugar until you have a creamy texture.

Add the egg whites, one by one, then the flour.

Place the dough in small rounds of about 4 inches diameter (use a cooking cutter to make it smooth and flat), on a silicone sheet or a greased baking tray. Leave space between them as they will expand a bit while cooking.

Sprinkle the chopped pistachios on top.

Place in the oven for about 10 mns or so (check regularly). The cookie is cooked when it is a little golden. Do not leave longer though as you want to keep them soft so that you can shape them easily.

Take out of the oven and place them on the form, cone or rolling pin for 2 mns, until they get harder. You can use them right away, or keep them in an air-tight container for a few days, until ready to use.
