Best Sesame Tuiles Recipes

SESAME TUILES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Pulse the sugar and 2 tablespoons sesame seeds in a food processor until finely ground.
• Transfer the ground sesame mixture to a medium saucepan and add the butter, orange zest and juice, cornstarch and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture comes to a simmer and thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl; stir in the flour, vanilla and the remaining 2 tablespoons sesame seeds. Refrigerate until cooled and thickened, about 45 minutes.
• Drop heaping teaspoonfuls of batter, 4 inches apart, onto the prepared baking sheets. Lightly sprinkle the tops with more sesame seeds. Bake, 1 baking sheet at a time, until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet until just set enough to lift with a spatula, 1 to 2 minutes, then carefully transfer to a rack. While the cookies are still warm, curl up 2 sides of each cookie with your fingers, then let cool completely. Repeat with the remaining batter (reline the baking sheets between batches).

CRISPY SESAME TUILES

Steps:

• In a food processor, finely grind the sesame seeds. In a medium bowl, whisk the ground sesame seeds with the sugar and flour. In a small bowl, whisk the butter with the sesame paste until smooth. Stir the orange and lemon juices into the flour mixture, then stir in the sesame butter until the batter is smooth. Cover and let stand at room temperature for 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 large cookie sheets with parchment paper. Scoop tablespoons of batter onto the prepared sheets, spacing them 2 inches apart. Using an offset spatula, lightly spread the batter into 3 inch rounds of even thickness. Sprinkle a pinch of black sesame seeds on each tuile.
• Bake the tuiles for about 10 minutes, until evenly golden. Remove from the oven and let the tuiles stand until firm, about 3 minutes. Using a spatula, transfer the ruiles to a rack to cool completely.

HONEY SESAME TUILES

Steps:

• Cream butter and sugar using a paddle. Add honey and mix. Add whites and mix. Add flour and mix. A proper tuile batter is smooth. On a fiberglass mat or parchment paper, spread tuile batter evenly and thinly into 5 to 6-inch rounds by using a wet finger, circling outward. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Bake at 300 degrees until tuiles are brown. Check often. Tuiles can be shaped when they are still hot. Place them in muffin tins or ramekins to form a cup shape. Work quickly.

SESAME TUILES

Steps:

• 1. In a frying pan, toast the sesame seeds over medium heat until the seeds are fragrant and the white sesame seeds are golden brown. 2. In a medium bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, melted butter and sesame seeds and mix by hand until combined. Wrap and refrigerate the dough for an hour. 3. Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Take the dough out of the refrigerator and let stand 5 to 10 minutes. Lightly stir to re-incorporate all the ingredients. Use a piece of flexible cutting mat or material of similar thickness such as a plastic coffee can lid to make a template; cut out a roughly 1-by-3-inch oval design. Place the template on a Silpat-lined baking sheet and spread the dough evenly into the cutout with a small offset spatula or a spoon. Leaving 1 to 2 inches between cookies, repeat with the remaining batter. 4. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, until crisp and lightly golden. Cool on a rack.
