Chocolate Tuile

Tuile Batter

- 1/4 cup softened butter
- 1/4 cup sifted confectioner’s sugar
- Dash of vanilla extract
- 2 large egg whites, slightly whisked
- 1/2 cup sifted all purpose flour
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder

1. Cream butter and sugar together.
2. Add vanilla extract.
3. Mix flour and cocoa powder together, then add in thirds to butter mixture.
4. Add egg whites last.
5. Bake at 350 degrees F for about 7-8 minutes; remove, mold around object of choice.
6. Store at room temp. in airtight container.

I found that the tuile batter actually made an excellent cake as well; the egg whites, though only slightly whisked, gave a very fluffy and light texture. Almost like a genoise; much easier prep too.
