I am truly in love with Madeleines. They are wonderfully perfect, cake like cookies. Madeleines are also very easy to make if you have the mold for them. You will also find they are perfect for thanks giving, if you have a talent for icing. Their fan shape makes them easy bodies for turkeys. Think how delighted your guest would be to find sweet turkey decorated Madeleines waiting for them at their table place. I think they would be almost as delighted if they were to find a double martini.
So to make your own Madeleines you will need:
2 large eggs
1 table spoon vanilla
2/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
1 pinch of salt
1 cup and 2 table spoon cake flour
10 table spoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
To make them you will need to start off by pre-heating your oven to 375°.
In an electric mixer bowl, beat eggs and sugar, just until blended.
Next beat in vanilla, lemon peel, and salt.
Add flour and mix well.
Finally gradually add in butter.
Take your Madeleine molds and grease and flour them.
In the molds place a tablespoon of batter.
Set your timer for 10 minutes of baking. Yes, that is Cary Grant, I always like to bake with a handsome man in the kitchen. The Madeleines should be puffed and browned.
Let cool for about 5 minutes before removing them from the mold.
I personally don't like them to get too brown so I pull them early.
If you are talented with icing you can use royal icing to make these yummy cookies into turkeys.
Happy Thanks Giving!
I am so thankful for my followers.
