Madeleine

A typical French sweet is of course the Madeleines. These little cakes come from the Loraine region of France.
They are easy to make and can be cooked in a small amount of time!

Ingredients:
- 100g of butter
- 125g of sugar
- juice of 1/2 lemon
- 4 eggs
- 125g of flower
- salt

Preparation:
1. melt the butter in a sauce pan (I use the microwave when I don't have much time. If you do so, do it only right before adding it to the mixture).
2. In a bowl, put the lemon juice, add a pinch of salt, and add 3 eggs and the yolk of the 4th one only.
3. Mix well to avoid lumps.
4. Add the flower slowly why stirring the mixture.
5. (Melt the butter now if you decided to use the microwave) and add the melted butter.
6. Butter the Madeleine pans. Put the paste in the pans. Put the oven at 220°C and cook for 10 minutes.

Variation: You can add 40g of melted cooking chocolate if you want chocolate Madeleine.

Tips: The Madeleines can accompany a light desert such as an ice cream or cottage cheese with fruit coulis.

Opinion: This is a nice recipe that doesn't require any specific knowledge in cooking to realize. However, do be able to made real Madeleines, you need the Madeleines pan. You can make them in other little individual pans, only what makes a Madeleines is often its shape.

I Cook For...: A birthday, a party, tea or coffee with friends, myself, family, when I don't have too much time.
