Savory Mini Madeleines Recipes

MADELEINES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375. Beat sugar and eggs together until thoroughly blended. Add lemon rind and melted butter. Mix to blend. Sift together dry ingredients. Add all at once to egg mixture. Stir just to blend. Allow mix to sit at room temperature for approximately 10 minutes. While mix is resting, generously butter Madeleine molds. Spoon mix into molds, filling approximately 3/4 full. Bake approximately 15 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Turn over immediately onto cooling screen. Wipe out each mold cavity, rebutter and fill again until desired number or all mix is used. Store in airtight container until ready to use.;

SAVORY MINI-MADELEINES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375 degrees. Use a little of the butter to grease one or more mini-madeleine pans. Whisk together the flour, pepper, cream of tartar, baking powder and herbes de Provence, and set aside.
• Using an electric mixer with a whisk attachment, beat the eggs with the sugar until the mixture is thick and light, about 4 minutes. Stir in the flour mixture on low speed or by hand and mix in the butter. Fold in the cheese and olives.
• Pipe or spoon batter into prepared pan or pans, and bake about 8 minutes, until lightly browned. Remove from pan to a rack and repeat, as needed, to use remaining batter.

DANIEL BOULUD'S MADELEINES

Steps:

• Whisk 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt in a small bowl.
• Whisk 2 large eggs, 1/3 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon light brown sugar, 1 tablespoon honey, and 2 teaspoons finely grated lemon or orange zest in a medium bowl until smooth. Whisk in dry ingredients until just incorporated, then whisk in 6 tablespoons warm melted unsalted butter until smooth. Transfer batter to a pastry bag or resealable plastic bag and chill at least 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 400°. Lightly coat a 12-cake regular madeleine pan or three 20-cake mini madeleine pans with nonstick vegetable oil spray and dust with flour, tapping out excess. Snip end off pastry bag (or 1 corner of resealable plastic bag) and pipe batter into pan, filling two-thirds full (you may have a little batter left over).
• Bake madeleines until edges are golden brown and centers are puffed and lightly spring back when gently pressed, about 8-10 minutes for regular cakes and 5 minutes for mini.
• Tap pan against counter to release madeleines. Dust with powdered sugar and serve while still warm.
