Madeleine

No charabens for today. :P The boys have been asking me for food one hour after their lunch these few days, decided to bake some Madeleines for them to eat for tea. As expected, they wanted to help, so they ended up doing almost all the work, I only helped them to fill the mould. -_- Madeleine recipe at the end of the post, quite easy to do, give it a try if you are looking for something simple.

Pack a box for the hubby to bring to work tomorrow. It's one of those rare times he gets a box, coz I always throw his sandwiches and cakes in plastic bags, lol. :P

My dinner, on the plate are braised E-Fu noodles, fermented red wine grilled chicken and salad. Similar stuff for Daddy and the boys too, except they had stir-fry vegetables with fish instead of salad, they don't fancy their veggies raw. Hiaz.

MADELEINE RECIPE
Make 24 madeleines

Ingredients:
2 jumbo eggs plus 1 egg yolk

  2. Grease the madeleine pan with butter.
  3. Using an electronic hand beater, beat the eggs and sugar until thick and foamy.
  4. Add lemon juice, lemon zest into the egg mixture and blend well.
  5. Fold in the flour and use a spatula to mix well.
  6. Fold in the melted butter, stir and blend until the butter is well incorporated with the batter.
  7. Transfer the batter into the madeleine mould and fill about 90%. Don’t spread it.
  8. Bake for 12 minutes or until they turn light brown.
  9. Remove the madeleine pan from the oven and let cool on a cooling rack.

    1. Maya, thank you, I'm drooling over all your bakes! Wished I had time to bake. I got the individual moulds instead, find it easier to store, than the pan. :)
