Citrus Lace Tuiles with Buttercream
- 1 2/3 cups sugar
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup fresh orange juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 14 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled to room temperature
- 3/4 teaspoons grated lemon zest
- 3/4 teaspoons grated orange zest
- Buttercream, recipe follows
- Raspberries, for garnish
- 1/2 cup egg whites
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 8 ounces (2 sticks) softened butter
- 4 ounces softened goat cheese (recommended: mild Coach Farms)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- Using an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, mix together the sugar and flour until well combined.
- With the mixer on low speed, drizzle in the orange juice and the lemon juice and mix until smooth.
- Drizzle in the cooled melted butter slowly and add the zests.
- Increase the speed to medium and mix until the batter is completely smooth.
- Refrigerate at least 4 hours (overnight is best).
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. For each tuile, drop a heaping teaspoon of batter onto a non-stick baking sheet with a non-stick liner, leaving three inches in between.
- Using a small, offset spatula or the back of a spoon dipped in cold milk to prevent sticking, gently pat each mound of batter into a very thin, even 4-inch round.
- Bake tuiles until they are golden brown all over, 9 to 11 minutes.
- Using a cannoli mold and working very quickly, roll each tuile around the mold.
- When the tuiles have cooled, carefully slide off the mold.
- Tuiles may be made smaller to form around mini tuile molds.
- Buttercream: Place egg whites and sugar in a stainless steel mixing bowl.
- Set bowl in a pot of simmering water, whisking constantly, until hot to the touch.
- Place whites in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment.
- Whip on highest setting until whites are cool and stiff.
- Add softened butter bit by bit until all the butter has been added.
- Add the vanilla and the softened goat cheese bit by bit until all has been added and the buttercream is stiff.
- Using a piping bag fitted with a star tip, fill each tuile shell with buttercream.
- Garnish with fresh seasonal fruit.
