Madeleines

Those cute little cake are traditional small cakes from my region, Lorraine, in France. They are sponge cakes with a distinctive shell-like shape acquired from being baked in pans with shell shaped depressions. It's a little cake that I love to eat with tea or hot chocolate.

Here you can see how the pans look:


Ingredients:


  • 125g butter, softened
  • 125g flour
  • 125g vanilla sugar
  • 4 eggs
  • 1 tsp baking powder 

Instructions:

Preheat your oven at 180 degree celcius.
Mix the sugar and butter until frothy.
Add the eggs one by one. Mix well.
Then add the flour and the baking powder. Mix well until smooth.

Pour in the pans and put in the oven for 20 minutes. 

Enjoy!
