Lavender madeleines are a light and airy french cookie that I enjoy serving with an afternoon lunch or tea. (Madeleine pans can be purchased at any specialty kitchen shop.) Ingredients:
3/4 cup granulated sugar |
5 tablespoons fresh lavender flowers |
3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted & cooled |
2 large eggs, at room temperature |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 cup all-purpose flour |
confectioners' sugar |
Directions:
1. Using a food processor, process sugar and lavender flowers until finely ground.
2. Heat oven to 400 degrees.
3. In a large bowl and using a wire whisk; mix eggs, lavender sugar mixture and vanilla until light and fluffy.
4. Gradually whisk in melted butter.
5. Using a rubber spatula gently fold in flour.
6. Generously spray Madeleine pans with non-stick cooking spray.
7. Spoon a scant tablespoon of batter into each madeleine mold, leave the batter mounded in the center.
8. (This will result in the typical humped appearance of the Madeleine).
9. Bake 8 to 10 miutes or until golden brown.
10. Immediately remove from pan and allow to cool on a wire rack.
11. Store in an airtight container.
12. Dust with confectioners sugar just before serving.
13. Enjoy!
