Tips and Tricks
These coral tuile garnishes are very fragile so make sure to handle them with care when applying as a garnish. If using it to garnish a drink, make sure it can either fit on top or be attached to another garnish so as not to break it.
Make sure to use the right amount of oil for the recipe, along with a suitable temperature. If there’s not enough oil, the coral tuile will not bubble and be difficult to remove from the pan. On the other hand, if too much oil is used the coral tuile will end up too greasy.
It’s necessary to also have the temperature just right. There should be even heat spread throughout the pan.
At the first sign of the edges burning, remove the pan from the heated burner. As the coral tuile shouldn’t be removed for a few minutes yet, it will end up cooking a little been longer in the hot pan after it’s been removed from the heat of the burner.
If desiring a different color for your coral tuile, simply remove the beet juice and use food coloring instead!
