Tuile Disaster


I totally forgot to post my results for January, so here they are:

This month's challenge is brought to us by Karen of Bake My Day and Zorra of 1x umruehren bitte aka Kochtopf. They have chosen Tuiles from The Chocolate Book by Angélique Schmeink and Nougatine and Chocolate Tuiles from Michel Roux.

The tuiles unfortunately for me turned out - there is truly no other word to describe it - rubbery. I think part of it might have been the crappy oven in my new apartment, but I know other DBs were having trouble with them too. I only made a few and then threw away the rest of the batter. Another problem might have been that I added the eggs cold by accident, which made the softened butter clump up unpleasantly.

As you can see, they were reluctant to curve around the rolling pin for the beautiful tuile shape and were rather...pasty and spongy.

Well, onward and upward for February. I'm excited.=)
