Crispy Sesame Tuiles & Creamy Sesame Latte
Unlock the Flavor of Sesame! Delicious Homemade Sesame Tuiles and a Fragrant Sesame Latte
Do you have an abundance of sesame seeds at home and wonder how to use them? This recipe offers a delightful solution! ‘Sesame Tuiles’ are delicately crisp cookies infused with the nutty aroma of sesame, perfect for pairing with your favorite coffee. Unlike some recipes that call for over 100g of sesame seeds, this version uses just 40g, delivering a satisfyingly rich and nutty flavor without being overwhelming. They were a huge hit, especially with my dad – he couldn’t stop reaching for them whenever he passed by!
While some recipes incorporate butter, this version utilizes vegetable oil, a common ingredient in Korean kitchens, making it more accessible. A pro tip: baking in an oven is highly recommended for that signature crispiness. Pan-frying can result in a texture more akin to pancakes, which is also tasty, but the essence of these tuiles lies in their delightful crunch. The entire process, from preparation to baking, takes approximately 20 minutes, making them a quick and rewarding treat.
The ‘Sesame Latte’ was created for those who appreciate the distinct flavor of sesame in a creamy beverage. The nutty notes of sesame blend beautifully with milk, creating a comforting and unique drink. A few drops of toasted sesame oil as a topping further enhance the sesame aroma, elevating the overall experience. Enjoy this special latte as a delightful way to start your day or as a comforting pick-me-up.
Sesame Tuile Ingredients- Sesame seeds 40g
- Cake flour 50g
- Eggs 2
- Sugar 40g
- Vegetable oil 30g
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
(Make Sesame Tuiles) In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, vegetable oil, and 40g of sesame seeds. Whisk everything together until well combined and smooth, ensuring no lumps remain. You’ll start to smell the lovely nutty aroma of the sesame seeds.
Step 2
(Make Sesame Tuiles) Sift the cake flour (50g) into the mixture from step 1. Gently fold it in until just combined and no dry flour streaks are visible. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the tuiles tough. A light touch is key!
Step 3
(Make Sesame Tuiles) Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the batter thinly and evenly onto the parchment paper. You can use a spoon or a piping bag for this. Aim for a thin layer, as this will ensure your tuiles bake up extra crispy.
Step 4
(Make Sesame Tuiles) Bake in a preheated oven at 150°C (300°F) for 10 minutes. Keep an eye on them, as baking times can vary depending on your oven. The edges should be lightly golden brown when they’re ready.
Step 5
(Make Sesame Tuiles) Once baked, carefully transfer the sesame tuiles to a wire rack using a spatula. Let them cool completely. They will become wonderfully crisp as they cool down.
Step 6
(Make Sesame Latte) First, brew your coffee to create an espresso shot. If you prefer a stronger coffee flavor, use more grounds. Alternatively, dissolve instant coffee (like KANU) in a small amount of hot water for a quick and easy option.
Step 7
(Make Sesame Latte) In a blender or mixer, combine the milk (200g) and the 20g of sesame seeds. Blend until the sesame seeds are finely ground and well incorporated into the milk, creating a smooth and creamy mixture.
Step 8
(Make Sesame Latte) Pour the prepared espresso shot into the sesame-infused milk. Stir gently to combine the rich coffee with the nutty creaminess of the sesame milk.
Step 9
(Make Sesame Latte) For an extra touch of flavor and aroma, garnish with the 2g of toasted sesame seeds and 4-5 drops of toasted sesame oil. This step is optional but highly recommended to enhance the sesame notes and create a truly special latte!
