Pirouettes
April 15th, 2008
Brian, over at Chocolate Gourmand recently published a recipe and how-to for pirouettes. These cookies, perhaps named for the circular dressage move, are light, tubular cookies formed by rolling them around a wooden spoon.
What interests me about them especially is that they use egg whites and so are a great way to use the whole egg when making ice cream (where you usually just use the yolks).
They go really well with ice cream, and are similar to the wafers we use for sundaes. I’m not going to post a recipe as Brian has done so here (complete with helpful how-to photos).
I didn’t have any trouble making them, and they are great fun to do. Perhaps when I make them again I’ll try dipping one half of them in chocolate!

Hey Kieran!
These look great- You can make great little ice cream cups with this recipe if you place the little circles on the bottom of a glass and let them cool!

In my book these are cigarette rousse and tuiles need to be sprinkled with almonds.

Thanks, guys. It’s true, Martin. I’d normally make tuiles with nuts. Pistachios can be great as well…
