Madeleines

Madeleines are miniature French sponge cakes made in a special shell- shaped pans.
My first attempt was baking of  chocolate madeleines made from Valrhona cocoa powder.















These chocolate madeleines tasted good especially with vanilla ice cream.



Rose-water and Lemon Madeleines

Baked some madeleines flavoured with rose water for my mum for Mothers'Day.
She requested for a dessert that was light and not so sweet. Thus, I chose this recipe and reduced the amount of sugar stated and it still tasted good. The rose fragrance was mild but refreshing. I also baked another batch with lemon zest.We had an enjoyable afternoon tea sampling these madeleines.
