Madeleine 马德琳蛋糕

My little son Desmond like Madeleine a lot. It started when both of us watching a Taiwan TV drama together (the story line was about baking and love) the other day. He was attracted by this Madeleine and requested me to make for him. At first,  I was using the recipe provided in the drama which required to rest the batter overnight in the fridge. The madeleine turned out to be hard and quite dry but my son finished them all. I guess this recipe was failed due to no raising agent is added.

 

I adapted a new recipe, don't need mixer but simply just use a hand whisk to mix. And also using very basic few ingredients..

 

And we love this madeleine, it was buttery, moist and has a hint of lemon aroma! But the sweetness is slightly on high side..but still acceptable for this type of French cake.

 

 I forgotten to grease the pan, resulted a bit of cake stick to the pan..and also on slight over bake.
