Madeleines


Madeleines are little tea cakes that are perfect for tea parties or for a quick sweet treat. This recipe unlike other Madeleine recipes can be made without  any refrigeration of the batter.Yet have always have come out perfect each time I baked these.Those of you who doesn't own a Madeleine pan can make them in muffin tins; after all, these are little tea cakes, right?
Recipe source:Martha Stewart.com
Ingredients :
Melted butter ( 1 stick)-8 tbsp
All purpose flour-1/2 cup
Cake flour-1/2 cup
Pinch of salt
Eggs-2 large
Sugar-2/3 cup
Vanilla-1 tsp
Grated zest of 1 lemon
Method:
Pre-heat oven to 375 degree F. Butter and lightly flour the Madeleine pan.Beat eggs and sugar together until pale and foamy.Add in vanilla and lemon zest, then the flour and salt. Mix until just combined at a low speed, pour in melted butter and combine everything till butter is incorporated.Do not over mix.
Spoon batter into prepared madeleine pan and bake for 8-10 minutes until it turns golden brown. Turn over immediately onto cooling rack.
