6th June 2010: Tuile Aux Almandes (Petite Four Sec)



Most often people would think of a squarish bite size cake when they hear "Petite Four". In actual fact, petite four could vary from any mouth size delectable consisting of mini meringue, mini cookies, mini cakes and more. "Sec" in French means dry.

And hereby I present the Almond Tile cookies. "Tuile" in French means roofing tiles.
This little cookie is commonly served with ice cream / mousse as garnish but never quite the main attraction. Funny how we'd go through all that trouble just to bake something that is not quite the shout out? Welcome to the baking reality.
