Lemony Madeleines

Each January I make a list of recipes or techniques I'd like to master and a great source of information is Nielsen Massey's Better Your Bake.  I've used their tips previously in some of our favorite dishes, Honey Vanilla Pancakes (Tip #1: How to separate eggs & whisk), Brown Butter Chocolate Snickerdoodles (Tip #2: How to brown butter), and Mini Chocolate Eclairs with Vanilla Pastry Cream (Tip #4: How to fill a pastry bag).

One of the items on this year's list is madeleines.  I've seen them on several cooking competition shows and they have always intrigued me.  There is nothing worse than following all the steps of a recipe and then when you go to turn the item out of the pan, nothing happens.  Proper pan preparation is key, especially with madeleines.


I chose the Lemony Madeleines from the Nielsen Massey website, and also Tip #5: How to prep and use a baking mold.  I adjusted the baking temperature down a bit since I was using a darker coated pan.  Mine baked in about 9 minutes, and released from the pan beautifully.


After they've cooled you can dip them in melted chocolate and add sprinkles, or you can give them s simple dusting of powdered sugar.  I cannot wait to experiment with more flavors, I'm thinking some with orange extract dipped in melted dark chocolate would be absolutely amazing!

Author: Jolene's Recipe Journal

Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup butter, melted and cooled to room temperature, plus 3T melted butter to coat pans
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Nielsen-Massey Pure Lemon Extract
  • 1 teaspoon Nielsen-Massey Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4c powdered sugar, optional

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Coat the madeleine molds with  melted butter or non-stick baking spray; set aside. Sift flour onto parchment paper; set aside.
  2. Beat eggs, lemon extract, vanilla and salt at high speed in an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, until light.
  3. Add the sugar in a steady stream, beating constantly; continue beating at high speed until mixture is thick and pale, and ribbons form in bowl when beaters are lifted, about 5 minutes.
  4. Fold flour into egg mixture in 3 additions. Fold the melted butter quickly but gently into the batter. Let batter sit for 5 minutes before dividing evenly among indentations in the madeleine pans, filling to about 3/4 full.
  5. Bake 8 to 10 minutes, or until cakes are golden and the tops spring back when gently pressed with your fingertip.
  6. Invert the pan onto a wire rack and let the madeleines cool completely.  Dust with powdered sugar. Madeleines are best on the day they're baked.

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites

I'm a huge fan of the Dunkin Donuts Power Breakfast sandwich, so when I started seeing ads for the new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites I stopped in and gave them a try.  They were delicious, but of course, I knew I could make them at home.  I started with the whites of six eggs. You can use pasturized whites if you don't want to do the whole separating, finding a use for the yolks thing.  I beat them up with some salt and pepper. Next up, the tomato and spinach.  I used grape tomatoes, seeded them and then chopped them into 1/4" pieces. I like baby spinach, and I took about 10 leaves and chopped those up into 1/4" pieces as well. I added that to the egg mixture.  When you pour it into the pans, be sure that it all gets evenly distributed.   They bake up pretty quickly, around 9 minutes or so.  Dunkin gives you two egg bites, the mini donut serving size is three. I pop them in ziplocs in the fridge and just pull a bag and reheat them in the microwave for a quick

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Bacon and Cheddar Omelet Bites

Since I already came up with a version of Dunkin Donuts new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites for myself, I decided to make the other variety that they are offering, Bacon & Cheddar, for my husband. Super simple.  Beat up some eggs with salt and pepper.  Add in some shredded cheddar and a slice of bacon cut into 1/4" pieces (I used kitchen shears).  Bake them for about 9 minutes in sprayed mini donut pans. They baked up light and fluffy.  The bacon stayed crisp and there's just the perfect amount of cheese.   I split them up into portions in zip top bags and that way we can just grab a bag and warm them up. My husband laughed when I told him 3 is the serving size.  I'll definitely be doubling the recipe next time!

Strawberry Pizzelles

Pizzelles are one of my favorite childhood cookies and I'm constantly looking for ways to put a new spin on them.  Since one of my favorite summer fruits is strawberries, I swapped out the vanilla in the original recipe with strawberry extract.  This post is sponsored in conjunction with #SummerDessertWeek !  I received product samples from sponsor companies to aid in the creation of my recipes. All opinions are my own. I also added some red food coloring to give it a pink hue, but you can skip that if you like.  I use a cookie scoop to portion out the batter, it keeps all the pizzelles the same size, plus it's quicker than using two spoons.   They're delicious as is but you can take them over the top by fashioning them into a cylinder which we like to call fauxnoli.  You can pipe them full of whipped cream or buttercream.  If you want to prepare everything in advance, store the pizzelle in an airtight container, and the filling in a pastry or zip top bag in the f
