Citrus Madeleines


http://www.mykitchensnippets.com/2010/04/citrus-madeleines.html

I have finally got my act together and cleaned up my disgusting oven. Now I can see what I am baking through the oven window...


I just bought a madeleine pan yesterday from the newly renovated "Toss & Serve" at FCP.   I have never had madeleines before so I don't know what the texture is like.  I did some research online and found that the texture is something between cookie and cake... I do like the shape of it.  The shop owner told me the madeleines always come out nicer if baked from a regular metal pan.  Make sure you brush the indentations of the madeleine pan carefully filling in all the ridges with melted butter, dust with flour and tap off any excess.  


This recipe yields 18 madeleines and if you bake them for 10 minutes, you will get the crisp, golden edges.  I like them without the crisp edges. 


The pictures are taken with my new Olympus E-Pen 1 camera without flash in my poorly lit kitchen.  They turned out to be quite good.

Ooooo they look so good!
I have never tasted any madeleines as their selling price is always outragous for tiny little cakes and making them at home is not an option because of the requirement of special tin just for that purpose. I really want to try some someday.

Very nice! I don't mind to deliver some to Cherry for you... if there's any left after my kids laid their hands on them. Haha!
