ASSEMBLY & FINISHING

Soften the butter to a pomade consistency, then mix in the icing sugar, salt, sifted flour and egg whites. Leave to rest for at least 1 hour before baking.
Spread the mixture very thinly over the silicone mat, then bake in a fan-assisted oven at 170°C for approximately 11 minutes. While the baking tray is still hot, carefully remove the cigarette tuile using tweezers. Cut to shape with the cutter or a knife if necessary, then return to the oven at 170°C until evenly caramelised.
As soon as it comes out of the oven, shape the cigarette tuile as required, then store in an airtight container.
