Salted Chocolate Tuiles

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

   Tip: To ensure even baking, use a baking sheet large enough to hold the tuiles in a single layer.

2. 2

   In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, and 100ml of water. Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir until the sugar has dissolved.

   Tip: Use a medium saucepan to prevent the mixture from boiling over.

3. 3

   Bring the sugar mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes.

   Tip: Avoid stirring the mixture too frequently, as this can cause it to crystallize.

4. 4

   Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.

   Tip: Make sure the mixture is smooth and free of any lumps.

5. 5

   In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt until well combined.

   Tip: Sift the dry ingredients to ensure they are evenly mixed.

6. 6

   Gradually add the dry ingredients to the sugar mixture and stir until a dough forms.

   Tip: Use a wooden spoon or spatula to mix the dough, as this will help to incorporate any air bubbles.

7. 7

   Fold in the unsalted chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.

8. 8

   Spoon small amounts of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2cm of space between each tuile.

   Tip: Use a cookie scoop or spoon to portion out the dough, as this will help to ensure uniformity.

9. 9

   Bake the tuiles for 12-15 minutes, or until they are lightly golden brown and set.

   Tip: Avoid overbaking the tuiles, as this can cause them to become brittle.

10. 10

    Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the flaky sea salt over the top of the tuiles.

    Tip: Use a spatula to gently spread the salt over the tuiles, as this will help to distribute it evenly.

11. 11

    Allow the tuiles to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
