Madeleines





I bought this mold from the states 2 weeks ago when I visited my uncle and aunt, I never try Madeleine's before, so I have searched for this recipes, well the taste almost like kueh cubit from the food vendor. Madeleine's are little cake like cookies that are baked in special molds that give them a delicate shell shape. This small cakes taste so nice because of the honey and the brown butter, I tweaked the recipes a bit , I added raisin and nuts, yummm........

The source of the recipes is from here .


Honey Madeleine's

Ingredients:

170g unsalted butter

4 large eggs

1/2 cup caster sugar
2 tbsp firmly packed brown sugar

1/4 cup full flavour honey (chestnut or any wildflower variety)

1.5 cup plain flour

2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt
*extra butter for greasing


Method:


Make brown butter by melting butter in a saucepan and cooking it until milk solids fall to the bottom and it turns rich hazelnut brown. Set aside and let it cool until room temperature.


In a large bowl beat eggs, caster sugar, brown sugar and honey until pale and foamy.


Sift flour, baking powder and salt and fold into the batter.
Fold in brown butter.Cover and leave in the fridge for at least 8 hours. (At this point I generally just stick it in the fridge and go to bed)

Preheat oven to 180deg and grease your Madeleine pans with melted butter
Fill in Madeleine pans about 1/2 or 3/4 full. Don't over fill or this will cause the batter to overflow during cooking and your Madeleine's will end up sticking together.

Bake in the oven for about 8 to 10mins until the bumps rise.

Remove from oven and let cool for about 5mins before removing them from the pan and repeating the process with the remaining batter.Here's a chocolate variation of the above.

Lemon cheese spread biscuits





I tried this recipes by Alex Goh, but I don't have Cheddar cheese, and the recipes isn't so clear, corn flour? may be corn starch, well I don't have corn flour, but I didn't put corn starch , if I added corn starch the dough will be to soft. Instead of corn flour, rice flour will be allright for the substitute ,make it crunchy. I don't have almond flakes, so I added glaze icing instead. I thing this cookies will taste much better on second day, because of the butter and the cream cheese.
Ingredients:
100g cream cheese
60g Cheddar cheese,grated
200g butter
150g caster sugar
1/8 tsp salt
lemon zest from 1 lemon, finely grated
1 egg
Dry Ingredients: (sift together)
300g plain flour
20g corn flour
1 tbsp milk powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
100g flaked almonds (for coating)
Method:
Cream the cream cheese till smooth. Add in grated Cheddar cheese andmix till well blended.Add in butter, sugar & salt and whisk lightly. Then, add in the gratedlemon zest & egg and cream till smooth.Add in the dry ingredients, mix till blended. Chill in the fridge foran hour to firm up the dough.After an hour, take the dough from the fridge and knead lightly tobecome pliable.Divide the dough into 4 portions. Shape each portion into 28cm longtriangular log.Coat all the sides of each triangular log with flaked almonds. Wrap itwith plastic sheet and chill overnight.Remove the dough from the fridge and cut into 3mm thick slices.Place the slices into a greased tray or a tray lined with baking paper.Bake in preheated over at 170 degree Celsius for 20 minutes or tillgolden brown.
