Mix all ingredients into a smooth batter/paste. Line a baking sheet with baking paper or a silicone sheet and place the template in position. Spread tuile mixture over the cut out shapes then with a palette knife, pushing down lightly, draw the blade across the template to remove all surplus paste.
