I'm kind of surprised I actually got this one baked! We woke up this morning and my husband wonderfully took care of the baby for his morning feeding before he went to work. So, I had an hour to bake! I decided to only make half the recipe. It was a little tedious to get mixed together, there is the whipping of eggs and sugar for a few minutes, then the folding in of the sifted flour and then folding in the butter. I also do not have a Madeleine pan, so I improvised with a muffin pan. I think they turned out alright, they are fluffy light cakes, but they don't taste like much. The powdered sugar made them sweet, but maybe adding a different flavor like lemon would have been good or maybe even covering them with chocolate would have been delicious. You can check out the recipe at

What a wonderful husband you have! This was a fairly easy recipe - to bad it really isn't much to write about. I added citrus zest and juice which gave them a nice flavor and more moist than others described, but the texture was not what I would have liked.
ReplyDeleteI would definitely add some flavouring, next time. They were good plain, but they'd be better with flavour in the batter or in a glaze.
