La Belle Cuisine

 


"She sent out for one of those short, plump little cakes called 'petites
madeleines', which look as though they had been molded in the fluted
scallop of a pilgrim's shell. And soon, mechanically, weary after a dull
day with the prospect of a depressing morrow, I raised to my lips a
spoonful of the tea in which I had soaked a morsel of the cake. No
sooner had the warm liquid, and the crumbs with it, touched my palate
than a shudder ran through my whole body, and I stopped, intent upon
the extraordinary changes that were taking place. An exquisite
pleasure had invaded my senses..."

~ Marcel Proust

 

Madeleines (cont.)
A tea-time treat in the French manner
Chocolatier March 1995
Text by Mary Goodbody, Recipes by Judith Sutton


Brown Sugar-Pecan Madeleines

8 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of salt
3 large eggs, at room temperature
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans

1. In a small heavy saucepan, heat the butter over medium heat just until
very light golden brown and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Remove from
the heat and let cool until tepid.
2. In a small bowl, using a wire whisk, stir together the flour, baking
powder and salt until well blended.
3. In a large bowl, using a hand-held electric mixer beat the eggs and sugar
at medium-high speed until the mixture has tripled in volume and forms
a thick ribbon when the beaters are lifted. Lower the speed to medium
and beat in the vanilla extract.
4. Using a large rubber spatula, fold the flour mixture into the beaten eggs
in 3 additions. Fold in the cooled melted butter in 3 additions, then fold
in the pecans. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes, until slightly firm.
5. Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Generously butter two 12-mold madeleine pans. Dust the
molds with flour and tap out the excess.
6. Drop a generous tablespoonful of the batter into the center of each
prepared mold, leaving the batter mounded in the center. (This will
result in the typical "humped" appearance of the madeleines.)
7. Bake the madeleines for 12 to 15 minutes, until the edges are golden
brown and the centers spring back when lightly touched; switch
the positions of the pans halfway through the baking time for
even baking.
8. Remove the pans from the oven and rap each pan sharply against
a countertop to release the madeleines. Transfer the madeleines,
smooth sides up, to wire racks to cool. The madeleines can be
stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 to 3
days or frozen, well wrapped, for up to 1 month.

 

Lemon-Poppy Seed Madeleines

8 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of salt
3 large eggs, at room temperature
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon finely minced lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon pure lemon extract
1 tablespoon poppy seeds

1. In a small heavy saucepan, heat the butter over medium heat just until
very light golden brown and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Remove from
the heat and let cool until tepid.
2. In a small bowl, using a wire whisk, stir together the flour, baking
powder and salt until well blended.
3. In a large bowl, using a hand-held electric mixer, beat the eggs and sugar
at medium-high speed until the mixture has tripled in volume and forms

and beat in the lemon zest and extract.
4. Using a large rubber spatula, fold the flour mixture into the beaten eggs
in 3 additions. Fold in the cooled melted butter in 3 additions, then fold
in the poppy seeds. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes, until
slightly firm.
5. Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Generously butter two 12-mold madeleine pans. Dust the
molds with flour and tap out the excess.
6. Drop a generous tablespoonful of the batter into the center of each
prepared mold, leaving the batter mounded in the center. (This will
result in the typical "humped" appearance of the madeleines.)
7. Bake the madeleines for 12 to 15 minutes, until the edges are golden
brown and the centers spring back when lightly touched; switch
the positions of the pans halfway through the baking time for
even baking.
8. Remove the pans from the oven and rap each pan sharply against
a countertop to release the madeleines. Transfer the madeleines,
smooth sides up, to wire racks to cool. The madeleines can be
stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 to 3
days or frozen, well wrapped, for up to 1 month.

 

Chocolate-Dipped Orange Madeleines

8 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of salt
3 large eggs, at room temperature
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed
orange juice
1 tablespoon finely minced
orange zest
5 tablespoons bittersweet chocolate,
coarsely chopped

1. In a small heavy saucepan, heat the butter over medium heat just until
very light golden brown and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Remove from
the heat and let cool until tepid.
2. In a small bowl, using a wire whisk, stir together the flour, baking
powder and salt until well blended.
3. In a large bowl, using a hand-held electric mixer beat the eggs and sugar
at medium-high speed until the mixture has tripled in volume and forms
a thick ribbon when the beaters are lifted. Lower the speed to medium
and beat in the orange juice and zest.
4. Using a large rubber spatula, fold the flour mixture into the beaten eggs
in 3 additions. Fold in the cooled melted butter in 3 additions, then fold in
the poppy seeds. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes, until slightly firm.
5. Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Generously butter two 12-mold madeleine pans. Dust the
molds with flour and tap out the excess.
6. Drop a generous tablespoonful of the batter into the center of each
prepared mold, leaving the batter mounded in the center. (This will
result in the typical "humped" appearance of the madeleines.)
7. Bake the madeleines for 12 to 15 minutes, until the edges are golden
brown and the centers spring back when lightly touched; switch
the positions of the pans halfway through the baking time for
even baking.
8. Remove the pans from the oven and rap each pan sharply against a countertop to release the madeleines. Transfer the madeleines,
smooth sides up, to wire racks to cool.
9. Line 2 baking sheets with waxed paper and set a wire cooling rack on
each pan. Place coarsely chopped chocolate in the top of a double
boiler over hot, not simmering, water. Melt the chocolate, stirring
until smooth. (Chocolate that has been overheated may scorch, lose
flavor and turn coarse and grainy.  Stir melting chocolate after it has
begun to liquefy. Because of the sensitivity of milk solids to heat,
milk and white chocolates should be stirred almost constantly while
dark chocolate need only be stirred frequently during melting.)
10. Dip a madeleine into the melted chocolate, coating the bottom third of
the madeleine. (Tilt the container of chocolate as necessary to make
coating easier.) Shake off the excess chocolate, and place the dipped madeleine on a cooling rack. Repeat with the remaining madeleines.
Let sit at room temperature for 1 hour, or until the chocolate is set.
The madeleines can be stored, between layers of waxed paper, in an
airtight container at room temperature for 2 to 3 days or frozen, well
wrapped, for up to 1 month.
