Ma.. ma.. ma.. Madeleines

Ah how my kids and husband love me! Not because of my pleasant disposition, my flawless character, my fabulous social skills, my kind and understanding way of raising them (yes, that includes the Husband but don't tell him) not to mention my cooking skills, the never ending support I randomly dish out.. No, I can make Madeleines! And they looooove Madeleines! And now they love me too!
The flexible silicon Madeleine molds were a birthday present and yesterday I finally tried the first batch following this

Recipe:
120 gr flour
1 ts baking powder
120 gr sugar
4 eggs
120 gr soft butter
zest of 1 lemon or/and 1/2 ts almond extract

In the bowl of your standmixer combine sugar and eggs and mix until thick and pale, add flavors. Gradually add sifted flour and baking powder and fold into the mixture. Rest the batter in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 200C. Spoon batter evenly into buttered and floured Madeleine molds (if using 1 mold, let cool between batches). Bake for 10-15 minutes or until lightly browned. This recipe will make almost 36 small madeleines.This recipe came with the molds, but I searched the web and there is a wealth of recipes out there, so I bet there will be a Madeleine continuing story.
