These buttery little sponge cakes are feather-light and eaten as a cookie. Instead of the glaze, you can dip them halfway into melted bittersweet chocolate or dust them with icing sugar. You will need a special madeleine pan, available at most kitchen supply stores.
Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tsp grated lemon rind
- 2 tsp grated lime rind
- 2 tsp grated orange rind
- 1/4 tsp vanilla
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup ground almonds
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Glaze:
- 3/4 cup icing sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Preparation
Spoon by heaping 1 tbsp (15 mL) into each mould of 2 well-greased 12-mould madeleine pans. Bake in centre of 350°F (180°C) oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Loosen with tip of knife. Invert onto rack and let cool.
Glaze: In small bowl, whisk sugar with lemon juice; brush over cooled madeleines. (Make-ahead: Store in airtight container for up to 24 hours or freeze for up to 1 week.)
