pretty madeleine

I always have a missed conception about these beautiful Madeleine and have never ever wanted to make these little one until I suddenly saw the Madeleine Pan from Daiso and I decided to challenge myself in making some of those.

I got my recipe from Joy of Baking and went straight off to get all my ingredients.  So, here we go...

ingredients

- 113g of unsalted butter

- 1 cup of all-purpose flour

- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

- 1/8 teaspoon salt

- 3 large eggs, room temperature

- 2/3 cup granulated white sugar

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

method

- melt the butter and allow it to cool.

- prepare the madeleine cake tin by greasing it with butter and dust with some flour.

- sift flour, baking powder and salt into a bowl.

- in a bowl, beat egg, sugar until volume double and forms a thick ribbon when the whisk is lifted up.

- add in vanilla essence and beat to combine.

- sift in small amount of flour into the egg mixture and fold till well combine.

- sift in the the rest of the flour and make sure not to over-fold the batter.

- whisk a small amount of the batter into the cooled melted butter to lighten it.

- pour in the rest of the cooled melted butter and fold in well.

- dropped spoonful of the batter on madeleine mould.

- baked in pre-heated 190 degree celcius oven for 11-13 minutes.

- remove from oven, and remove the madeleine from the mould and let it cool at cooling rack.

- best eaten on the same day with nice cup of coffee. enjoy...~~
