Golden Lichen Tuile

"And in all my years cookin', I ain't made a better tuile than one flavored with gold dust."

- Strono Tuggs

Golden Lichen Tuile was a type of delicate tuile made using dust from the Golden Lichen found on the planet Batuu. The Artiodac chef Strono Tuggs included a recipe for Golden Lichen Tuile in his cookbook, The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook, which also used them as an ingredient in Nectrose Freeze. Tuggs described the Golden Lichen Tuiles as the best tuiles he had ever made and made sure to fill his pantries with Golden Lichen dust whenever he visited Batuu in order to ensure he could continue supplying his customers with the tuiles. The chef usually saved tuiles to use as an embellishments for his fancier dishes if he wanted to add some crunch, but also occasionally ate an entire batch himself in one sitting.

Behind the scenes
Golden Lichen Tuiles were created as a recipe for the 2019 recipe book Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge: The Official Black Spire Outpost Cookbook, written by Chelsea Monroe-Cassel and Marc Sumerak.

The out-of-universe recipe for the tuiles requires a quarter cup of butter, a quarter cup of sugar, one teaspoon of ground turmeric, half a teaspoon of ground ginger and three tablespoons of all purpose flour. The recipe has the reader melt together the butter and sugar in a saucepan, then stir in the tumeric and ginger before removing it from heat and stirring in the flour. The mixture is then dropped onto a baking sheet with a teaspoon and baked till crisp before serving.
