MUSTARD SEED TUILLE WITH RASPBERRY SORBET

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
• In a medium size bowl, combine the butter and sugar, and beat until fluffy. Add the egg whites one at a time, beating thoroughly before adding the next. Fold in flour and mustard seeds. Mix well, and refrigerate.
• Grease baking sheet with butter. Drop spoonfuls of batter onto baking sheet, and smooth into desired shape. Bake for 5 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from the baking sheet with a pallet knife, and shape over a bottle turned on its side. Let tuilles harden over bottle, remove, and set aside.
• To make the raspberry sorbet, puree raspberries and strain through a sieve. Combine the sugar and water in a saucepan and stir over gentle heat until sugar has dissolved. Turn heat up, and boil for 5 minutes until liquid forms a sticky syrup. Once the syrup has cooled, add the puree and the juice of 1 lemon. Freeze in an ice cream maker for 20 minutes. Alternatively, place mixture in a bowl and put in freezer. When edges begin to freeze, whisk an egg white, and fold into the partially frozen mixture. Return to freezer until frozen.
