    Lemon Madeleines

    My favorite recipe thus far for Madeleines. If you've never had a Madeleine your in for a treat. They are a soft, cake like cookie. Great for tea, special guests, or just for a nice little treat for yourself.


    List of Ingredients


    • 1 egg, seperated
    • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
    • 1 cup All Purpose Flour
    • 1/2 cup milk
    • 2 tablespoons canola oil
    • 1 1/2 tsps. lemon extract, mixed with 11/2 tsps. water
    • 1 1/2 teaspoons double acting baking powder
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • Powdered Sugar for dusting


    Instructions


    1. Prepare Madeleine pans by greasing and flouring.
    2. In a small bowl beat egg white with electric mixer on medium speed until foamy. Gradually add in 1/4 cup of the granulated sugar; continuing beat until the whole 1/4 cup is incorporated in and the mixture becomes stiff. Set aside.
    3. Meanwhile in a larger bowl beat egg yolk with remaining sugar. Add remaining ingredients, except powdered sugar. Beat on high speed for about 2 minutes. Fold in egg white mixture.
    4. Fill molds 2/3rds full. Bake 10 minutes or until edges just are light brown in color.
    5. Allow cookies to cool in pan for a minute or two. Remove to a towel that is lightly dusted with powdered sugar, making sure that the decorative side of the Madeleine is facing up. Dust with powdered sugar just before serving.
    6. Makes 24 Madeleines.
