MADELEiNES

 

I am not going to talk about Proust, even if I'm french and clichés are the easy way out of writing an inspired post about food. I am not goint to talk about my childhood neither because it would be a cover up for talking about Proust. 

So then, what the heck am I going to talk about? What I am going to say appart that this recipe is easy, fast and delectable? Talk about the weather? Nah! Talk about life and death? Nah. Much too serious for a post about light and fluffy Madeleines. 

How about I stop writing right now and let you test this recipe and see for yourself? Sounds like a gread idea.

• 100 gr all purpose flour
• 100 gr butter
• 110 gr organic sugar
• 2 eggs
• zest of half a lemon

• Beat eggs with sugar until fluffy into another bowl.
• Add melted butter + flour and baking powder mix + lemon zest + blossom water to the egg and sugar mixture whitout stopping beating.
• If your Madeleine pan is not nonstick, butter it. If it's silicone it's not necessary. Divide the batter among molds, filling them almost to the top.

• Remove from oven and leave to cool before taking madeleines from mold.
