OUICOOK: HOMEMADE FRENCH MADELEINE COOKIES

DIY French Madeleine Cookies with Chocolate Spread

What’s more French than French Madeleine cookies? This sweet treat is perfect for any occasion! The original French madeleine cookies were a small, traditional cake from two communes of the Lorraine region of northeastern France. This small cake has been favored by kings and peasants since the 17th century and their legacy has lived on today. Here’s how to make this delicious treat!

 Ingredients

2 eggs

3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/8 teaspoon salt1/3 cup white sugar

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon lemon zest

1/4 cup butter

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Butter and flour 12 (3 inch) madeleine molds; set aside.
2. Melt butter and let cool to room temperature.
3. In a small mixing bowl, beat eggs, vanilla and salt at high speed until light.
4. Beating constantly, gradually add sugar; and continue beating at high speed until mixture is thick and pale and ribbons form in bowl when beaters are lifted, 5 to 10 minutes.
5. Sift flour into egg mixture 1/3 at a time, gently folding after each addition.
6. Add lemon zest and pour melted butter around edge of batter. Quickly but gently fold butter into batter. Spoon batter into molds; it will mound slightly above tops.
7. Bake 14 to 17 minutes, or until cakes are golden and the tops spring back when gently pressed with your fingertip.
8. Use the tip of the knife to loosen madeleines from pan; invert onto rack. Immediately sprinkle warm cookies with granulated sugar. Madeleines are best eaten the day they’re baked.
9. Enjoy!!
