Instructions
1
Make the batter
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F / Gas mark 6). Butter a baking sheet. Sift in the flour and powdered sugar, then stir in the sliced almonds. Add the whole egg and egg whites and mix until smooth, then fold in the orange zest and melted butter.
2
Shape and bake
Drop walnut-sized spoonfuls of batter onto the baking sheet and flatten each with the back of a fork dipped in cold water. Bake only one sheet at a time so you have enough time to shape them. Bake for 4 to 5 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the centers are pale.
3
Shape and store
Remove from the oven and, while still hot, drape each cookie over a rolling pin to form a tuile (tile) shape. Let cool completely before storing. Keep in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days, or freeze for 3 to 4 weeks.
