rosemary madeleines

March 10th, 2010 · 3,073 Comments

i’ve not been able to get into inner workings of my blog for awhile now. i’ve been somehow mysteriously locked out of wordpress and it’s been – well kind of bizarre. but i am temporarily ‘in’ so i thought at the very least i could give you these small and dainty sponge cakes that i made 2 weeks ago. i had seen these madeleines posted on james beard’s site and was drawn to them immediately. they come from chef nicolas elmi of le bec-fin in philadelphia.

i’ve only made madeleines once before. a browned butter and lemon version that were nothing short of spectacular, rich and fragrant. but – one needs the pan before one can make a madeleine, non?. and it took me awhile before i decided to take the plunge and make the commitment to baking madeleines on occasion. and so now i definitely think that you too should indulge in a madeleine pan and consider making these – right away.

this recipe is wonderful. a lot of fresh rosemary, orange and lemon zest along with just a bit of a salt bite that somehow takes them over the edge into a very grown up taste sensation.

rosemary madeleines

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter at room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 eggs
2 teaspoons finely chopped rosemary
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon orange zest

cream together the butter, sugar, brown sugar, and salt until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. sift together the flour and baking powder. alternate mixing the eggs and sifted dry ingredients into the butter mixture. mix in the rosemary, lemon zest,  and orange zest. cover the bowl and chill the batter for about an hour.

preheat the oven to 375º F. butter and flour the madeleine pan. fill the molds about two thirds full with the batter. bake for 6 to 7 minutes, until the madeleines spring back to form when poked in their centers.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

they’re quite simple to make and nothing short of impressive. not so much a dessert as perhaps a 4:00 pm intermission to your day…

    What makes sense for one person may not make sense for another based on your financial situation. If the stars are lined up properly, a Chapter 7 bankruptcy is sometimes the perfect solution to your financial woes. If you fit the profile for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, the main drawback is the negative impact on your credit score; but let’s be honest here. If you are this close to filing bankruptcy, your credit is probably not that great to begin with. Sometimes the only way to rebuild a house is to tear it down and start over, which is what a Chapter 7 bankruptcy will allow you to do.Source: jessewhitelaw.com

Lavo os pincéis duo fiber, de base, batom, corretivo e sombras cremosas, ou seja, aqueles que ficam “grudentos”, com o sabonete líquido Dove CreamOil Shower. Ficam branquinhos e muito limpos. Vi essa dica em um blog de beleza e realmente funciona.Os demais também uso shampoo Johnson’s.Beijo.

    Woah! I’m really loving the template/theme of this site. It’s simple, yet effective. A lot of times it’s tough to get that “perfect balance” between superb usability and visual appearance. I must say that you’ve done a awesome job with this. Additionally, the blog loads very fast for me on Chrome. Excellent Blog!

    Está genial tu web y te animo a que sigas compartiéndonos tus conocimientos y experiencias. Sin poner en duda que Corea es una sociedad machista, aunque creo que mucho menos que otras de la región, pienso que si el muñeco abuelo le hubiera ayudado a la chica se podría hacer el comentario de que por ser mujer el abuelo la está ayudando. Hace tres años estuve en Corea, en el torneo de Jeonju, representando a Colombia. Espero algún día volver.Un abrazo.Oscar

    Nalbide / Berdych est surement la meilleure affiche de ce mardi. Les organisateurs ne s’y sont pas trompé qui l’on placé en prime time. Le 149ème mondial devrait j’espère passer contre le 16ème mais c’est un sale coup pour chacun d’eux.

    My developer is trying to persuade me to move to .net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the costs. But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using Movable-type on numerous websites for about a year and am nervous about switching to another platform. I have heard good things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can import all my wordpress posts into it? Any kind of help would be really appreciated!
