-Marcel Proust: A la Recherche du temps perdu-
I got very excited at the idea of baking madeleines for Hilary's 30th birthday party. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it all was. If you can read, you can make these. And boy are these babies crowd pleasers! I think Bruno had ten within minutes of them coming out of the oven.
200 gr butter- melted
4 eggs
200 gr sugar
225 gr flour
Whisk eggs and sugar until frothy. Add lemon zest, flour and butter mixing thouroughly after each ingredient.
Refrigerate the dough for about an hour.
Preheat the oven to 350.
Butter and flour the madeleine pans.
Fill each cavity to about 2/3 of its' capacity.
Cook for 10-12 minutes
Remove from molds and set onto a cooling rack.
Try to not eat them all.
Makes 3 dozen.
They taste even better when little helping hands have sprinkle in egg shells!
