Madeleines

When I read Proust for the first time, in my teenage years, I fell in love with the story behind his madeleines. In "Du côté de chez Swann", while drinking tea and eating a madeleine, the smell brings him back to his younger years at his aunt's home. So, my mother gave me a madeleine recipe, and I started baking them. It's been around 15 years that I make madeleines, and it became my favorite dessert, as well as my specialty.
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven at 200C (400F), and butter a madeleine pan. Set aside.
- 2
Mix the flour, the baking powder and the salt together in a bowl.
- 3
With an electric mixer for about 5 minutes, beat the eggs and the sugar with the choice of flavor. Proust's original recipe is with green tea; you can also choose either chocolate, cocoa, lemon and/or lime zest, or vanilla, or any other flavor.
- 4
Add the dry ingredients to the eggs & sugar mix with a wood spoon. Add the butter, and whisk with the electric mixer until the mixture has a texture similar to that of dough.
- 5
Put around 3/4 of a tablespoon in each cavity of the madeleine pan. Put in the oven for about 10 to 12 minutes, or until the contour is golden.
