absolutely french and delicious. one of my favorite cakes.
this is what it looks like :
talking about madeleines, there is a lot of recipes. my mom with her few cookbooks had already three different. this is mine, i tried it several times and my family loves them.
this is an easy recipe and really funny to make (and yummy).
Prep time : 20 minutes
Cooking time : 10 minutes
this is for 30 madeleines.
4 eggs
200g flour (you can also use cornflour)
200g butter
180g sugar
1/2 pack yeast
just a bit of salt
optional : cinnamon/a few drops of lemon juice/8 drops of orange-flower water
1.melt the butter (microwave oven/saucepan).
2. mix together : eggs, sugar, salt (cinnamon etc if you like) until you obtain a "white" mixture with little bubbles. it's pretty obvious when you mix all the ingredients.
3.add the flour and the yeast (i usually mix the two together before). mix.
4.add the butter. mix.
5*.now put it in the mold (greased and floured) and bake 10 minutes 200°-220°C. the oven must be pre-heated.
now, you can add different ingredients to make different madeleines :
-my favorite trick is to add a teaspoon of matcha tea (the famous powder green tea) in the mixture. heat a glass of milk (about 5cL) and infuse the tea 2-3 minutes, then add it in the mixture.
-you can add almond powder, i use 100g.
-chocolate ! i mean dark chocolate. i generally separate the mixture in two halfs, and add about 100g of chocolate to one half.
-chocolate chips (1 pack-125 g).
*i use the special mold for madeleines(see thumbnail), depending on how big yours is, you might have to repeat this several times. i like to grease and flour the mold each time, but it's not always necessary.
you can use any type of mold, i also use this recipe when i want to bake a basic cake ^^.
