Filigree Wafer

Recipe by Jason Roberts

This little number is the icing on the cake, the WOW factor when trying to impress; it looks pretty special served alongside even the simplest of desserts. The raw mixture can be kept frozen for up to a month.

Ingredients

  • 55 g egg white
  • 65 g icing sugar, sifted
  • 55 g plain flour

Method

  • Whisk together egg white and icing sugar.
  • Add plain flour and mix well. If you have time, allow to rest for a good hour.
  • Preheat oven to 160°C. Prepare a small piping bag from a piece of GLAD Bake paper, with the finest of tips to allow a fine stream of the paste to flow through when lightly squeezed.
  • Half fill the GLAD Bake paper piping bag and fold over the top. Have a baking tray lined with a sheet of GLAD Bake paper ready to pipe the paste onto. There are no set rules for shapes you want to create; I find a simple free form lattice pattern always looks special.
  • Bake for approxamitly 7–8 minutes or until golden in colour.
  • If you want to make a conical shape after removing from the oven, lay wafer still attached to the GLAD Bake paper over a rolling pin.
  • When cool, remove from rolling pin and carefully separate from paper.

Note: will keep well in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
