-------- ------------ --------------------------------
--- FOR THE TUILE BASKETS ---
2 med egg whites
100 g caster sugar
15 g plain flour
115 g roasted chopped hazelnuts
4 tsp hazelnut oil
--- FOR THE FILLING ---
450 g mixed red fruit (eg redcurrants,
raspberries, strawberries), stalks removed
hulled and sliced if necessary
--- FOR THE SABAYON ---
2 med egg yolks
40 g caster sugar
4 tbsp sweet white wine
icing sugar -- to dust

1. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6. Cut eight 20cm squares of baking
paper and draw a 13cm circle in the centre of each. Divide between two
baking sheets.

2. To make the Tuiles, beat the egg whites in a small bowl with a fork
until frothy. Stir in the caster sugar, flour, hazelnuts and hazelnut oil.
Put one eighth of the mixture on each circle and spread evenly to the edges
of the circles. Bake for 5-8 minutes. Quickly lift off the baking paper and
shape into baskets using an orange as a mould. If the biscuits set too hard
before you’ve managed to shape them, return to the oven for a couple of
minutes until softened and repeat the process. When completely cool,
arrange the fruit in the baskets.

3. To make the sabayon, place the egg yolks, caster sugar, wine and 2
tablespoons water in a large heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering
water. Whisk with an electric whisk for 7-8 minutes until the mixture is
thick and frothy. Dust the fruit baskets with icing sugar and serve with
the sabayon sauce.
