It’s 11:30 pm and I’m typing super fast to put this up in time for this month’s Daring Bakers’ challenge. This month the bakers baked French Tuiles. I’ve always wanted to try making these and this challege forced me to make it, instead of simply letting it remain in my list of things to do!
I’ve to admit, I haven’t been a good Daring Baker this time (heck no, a couple of times!) – instead of making these well in advance and posting just when the clock struck 12, I baked them just this morning. Luckily, these were very easy to make and were ready in minutes if you don’t count the resting time of the batter in the fridge.
This month’s hosts Karen aka Baking Soda at Bake My Day! and Zorra aka Kochtopf at 1x umrühren bitte have chosen the recipe for the Tuiles from The Chocolate Book by Angélique Schmeink and Nougatine and Chocolate Tuiles from Michel Roux. You could hop over to Karen’s blog for the complete recipe!
Strawberries are in season ans seemed like the perfect light accompaniment to the tuiles. Would be better with some whipped cream, though. This was a fun challege and left me wondering why I hadn’t tried making tuiles sooner!
Do check out what the Daring Bakers’ brigade has been up to this January.

What awesome strawberries you have there!
These look intensly delicious! I bet that they are the perfect dessert after a heavy meal… light, airy and not overly sweet. An immediate must-try.
Lovely, this is the second set of Tuiles I’ve looked at today. I’ve just joined up to DB so will be playing along in Feb!
Knowing my luck it’s going to be something super hard!
Lovely tuiles, and I bet they were fabulous with the berries!
They look very good! As ever though in my beer-centric world, I imagine that a chocolate stout pouring sauce would be somewhat marvellous with them.
Wow awesome…
LadyRed: I believe that desserts should rather be ooey-gooey-chocolatey. This was a pleasant change though!
Neil: Oh wow! Happy to know you’re joining! Will be so much fun discussing challenges and having moral support if you’re lagging too. :P
Cookie Pie: Berries were perfect with the tuiles!
Velky Al: Heeyyy! Nice to see you around! I like your idea.
Kitchen Flavours: Thank, Lubna. :)

Hi Coco…these look fab. I’m glad you tried them out. What beautifully red strawberries too! YUM! BTW, sorry, I still have to reply to your mail. xoxoxo
These remind me of crepes, and I loooove crepes. Very pretty, and I agree, it was an easy last minute to-do.
I almost lost track of the posting date too,luckily remembered just-in-time.paired with gorgeous strawberries the tuiles look awesome:)
Looks so simple and fresh!
A great combo! Your tuiles look very delicate and delicious!
cheers,
Rosa
Beautiful Tuiles. Yummy strawberries make the perfect match.

Rosa: Oh thank you!
Great looking tuiles! I love how wonderfully ripe your strawberries are.
These look like pure summer! Gorgeous with perfect strawberries that make me so jealous!
Cute Post – I, too, have not been a better DB. I keep saying I need to put MORE effort into it – be super creative like rest of the group. Let me say – I LOVE your sweet juicy strawberris and think you did a PERFECT job at capturing this!! BRAVO!!!!
Perfection with just the right filling of fresh berries and cream.
Great job on the tuiles. The strawberries are a perfect complement.
Loved reading all your comments. Thank you!
Your tuiles with strawberries make me drooling…
Strawberries and cream are just perfect for filling into your lovely tuile cones, Shaheen.
Shaheen, those are just beautiful! The fresh strawberries look amazing with your perfect tuiles. I was a bad Daring Baker last month too and waited until the last minute as well, good thing the tuiles were pretty easy. I was just looking at your older posts and saw poptarts which I just made too! How funny :) We’ve been doing those forever whenever we have left over pie crust, aren’t they wonderful?
Shaheen, I love your tuiles. They are so nice and crisp and thin. Mine were a bit thick. I think I should spread the batter real thin next time. Strawberries is a great idea. You did a fantastic job!
So nice to make them as packages for strawberries! I can’t wait for them to be in season here!
:)
mmm – these look lovely! Can’t wait for the nutella treats later! I’ve just started my own food blog and wondered how you went about copyrighting your images?
Will ‘follow’ you to keep up to date with the scrummy recipes! Thanks x
