Madeleines
Ingredients (20 madeleines): Utensils:
- 120g of plain flour * A Madeleine tray
- 120g of granulated white sugar * 2 bowls
- 120g unsalted butter * A wooden spoon
- 3 medium eggs * A grater
- Zest of one unwaxed lemon * A scale
- 1 lemon
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
Method
- In a large bowl, mix the flour, the sugar and the baking powder.
- Crack the eggs and separate the yolks from the whites. The yolk goes with the dry ingredients and the whites in a separate bowl.
- Whisk the white with a fork until you get bubbles on the top. Add them to the flour and yolks mix and combine.
- Melt the butter and wait until it cools down before pouring it on the mix.
- Add the lemon juice and the zest. Stir well.
- Pour into madeleine moulds and put them in the oven at 240°C for 6 minutes and then 180°C for 8 minutes. Your madeleines are ready when you see a little mountain on the top and a nice golden colour
Tip:
Swap the lemon for ½ an orange or rose water.
“I really like mine with rose water and dry pieces of rose in the dough!”
