Bon Appétit !

In French pastry, we use a lot of egg yolks. Don’t throw away the egg whites ! Freeze them in a sandwich bag 2 by 2, and make almond tuile cookies !

That was very nice!
I'll try to make it at my house.

Thanks.

I don't really understand...why would we save and freeze the whites if we are using them for baking thes es delicious tuiles aux amandes....but everybody knows that I'm not a chef....Tell me please and don't let me be in anguish..... :

Martine, it depends on how many egg yolks you used.

I make the crème anglaise, la crème pâtissière, the carbonara sauce (OK this one is not pastry), and I use the yolks for the gold finished of the croissants and the galette des rois... I used to throw the whites away, then I realized that it was a lot of food.

Then I started to freeze them, my freezer was full of egg whites. I don't have any problem after I discovered the recipe of the tuile.

those were delicious cookies! thanks for the recipe
