Method

  1. Heat the oven to 180C/fan oven 160C/gas 4. Line a baking sheet with non-stick baking paper. In a pan, combine the butter, sugar, golden syrup and cream. Bring to the boil over a medium heat, stirring constantly. Add flour and salt and cook until the batter is slightly thickened, about 1 minute.
  2. Stir in the nuts. Drop teaspoons of batter 10cm apart on the baking sheet. Bake until golden, about 6 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for about 3 minutes. It's important these don't get too cold or they'll set. If they do set, put them back in the oven for 30 seconds to soften them. Quickly and carefully, use a spatula to lift the tuile off the sheet and put it on a rolling pin. It should shape itself but may need a little chilling. Leave to set for a minute then put on a cooling rack. Repeat until the dough is finished.

    These biscuits were easy to make and delicious, but I'd advise leaving more space on the baking tray as mine all ran together.

    Does anybody know if this could be made with peanuts or another nut instead? It looks delicious but I'm not the biggest cashew fan.

    To answer my own question- yes! I don't know if it was because I used peanuts instead, but I found the batter very thick and it was hard to get thin tuiles. Also, for the love of God, don't use baking paper with no grease! This might be obvious to more experienced chefs but half of my poor, beautiful tuiles were inedible due to paper stuck on! They will be slightly runny when they come out of the oven but firm up very quickly. They have a lovely taste, so I do reccomend this. I served it with banana ice cream and dark chocolate drizzle.
