☕🍪Madeleines🍪☕

Madeleines are a French tea cake (thought of as a cookie) that are instantly recognizable with their scalloped shell shape that is ribbed on one side, and smooth, with a hump, on the other. Direct from the oven these buttery sponge cakes have wonderfully crisp edges and such a moist and tender crumb that they are best eaten right away. A dusting of powdered sugar is all that they really need, although you can brush the still warm Madeleines with a tangy lemon glaze.

Ingredient

Food ration :

Makes 24 servin

Cooking time :

8-10min

1/2 cup (113 g)

unsalted butter

1 cup (130 g)

all-purpose flour

1/2 tsp

baking powder

1/4 tsp

salt

eggs, at room temperature

1/2 cup (100 g)

white sugar

tblsp (30 g) firmly packed light brown sugar

1 tsp

vanilla extract

1 tsp

freshly grated orange or lemon zest

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

In a small saucepan, melt the butter and then keep it warm.

* Step 2

In a small bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.

* Step 3

In the bowl of your electric mixer, or with a hand mixer, beat the eggs and sugars at high speed until the mixture is thick and pale in color (about 5-8 minutes). Beat in the vanilla extract and orange or lemon zest.

* Step 4

Then sift about one-third of the flour mixture over the whipped eggs and gently fold in, using a rubber spatula or whisk. Sift and fold in half of the remaining flour, and then sift and fold in the rest. (Do not over mix or the batter will deflate).

* Step 5

Then take about 1/2 cup (125 ml) of the batter and fold it into the warm melted butter. (This lightens the butter making it easier to fold into the batter.) Then, with a spatula, gently fold the butter mixture completely into the egg batter.

* Step 6

Cover and refrigerate the batter for at least an hour or two, preferably overnight (can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days).

* Step 7

Then dust the molds with flour, tapping out the excess flour. Refrigerate the pans until the butter hardens (about 10 minutes). (Make sure the pans are well greased or the Madeleines will stick and be hard to remove.)

* Step 8

Bake the Madeleines for about 8 to 10 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the centers spring back when lightly touched. (Do not overbake these cookies or they will be dry.)

* Step 9

Best served immediately but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for a couple of days or frozen for up to 1 month. Dust with powdered sugar before serving enjoy with tea or coffee.
