Sesame-Orange Almond Tuiles
- 3 tablespoons (1 1/2 ounces/45 g) unsalted or salted butter
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 3 tablespoons (45 ml) freshly squeezed orange juice
- Grated zest of 1 orange, preferably organic
- 10 tablespoons (135 g) sugar
- 1/4 cup (35 g) all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup (60 g) unblanched or blanched sliced almonds
- 2 tablespoons (40 g) white sesame seeds
- 1 1/2 teaspoons black sesame seeds (see Tip)
- In a small saucepan, warm the butter, sesame oil, orange juice, orange zest, and sugar over low heat until melted and smooth.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the flour, almonds, and white and black sesame seeds.
- Let the batter rest for 1 hour at room temperature.
- Preheat the oven to 375F (190C).
- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- (Dont use silicone baking mats because the cookies may be difficult to remove.)
- Set a rolling pin for shaping the tuiles on a folded dish towel to steady it and have ready a wire rack.
- Drop level tablespoons of batter on the prepared baking sheets, placing only 4 on each sheet and spacing them evenly apart.
- Slightly flatten the batter with dampened fingers.
- Bake one sheet at a time, rotating the baking sheet midway during baking, until the cookies are evenly browned, 8 to 9 minutes.
- Let cool briefly, about 1 minute.
- Using a metal spatula, lift each cookie off the baking sheet and drape it over the rolling pin.
- (If the cookies cool and harden before you have time to shape them, they can be softened by putting them back in the oven for 30 to 45 seconds.)
- Let cool on the rolling pin, then transfer the tuiles to a wire rack.
- Repeat with the remaining batter.
- Serve the tuiles within a few hours of baking.
- The batter can be made up to 1 week in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
- You can store the baked tuiles in an airtight container until ready to serve later the same day.
- Like toasted sesame oil, black sesame seeds are available in Asian markets.
- If you cant get them, use white sesame seeds in their place.
