Madeleine

Chiều lạnh hai vợ chồng ngồi thu lu ở nhà. Buồn tay buồn chân, nhân thể lọ bánh cũng vừa vơi, vợ làm một mẻ madeleine vàng óng ánh. Nhâm nhi với cốc sữa nóng là cuộc đời lại ấm áp lên mấy phần.

(18 madeleines)

2 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
5 tbs melted butter
3/4 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
Grated zest of 1/2 lemon
1/4 tsp vanilla extract

1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar until frothy.

2. Add the melted butter, blending well.

3. Adjust the mixer to low speed and add the flour, baking powder, lemon zest, and vanilla until blended.

4. Cover the bowl with a towel and set aside for 1 hour.

5. Preheat the oven to 375F (I think it's a bit too hot, 350F should be sufficient).

6. Butter and flour the madeleine mold.

7. Whisk the batter for a moment to remix.

8. Spoon the batter into the mold, filling them 3/4 full.

9. Bake for 10 minutes.

10. Remove immediately from the mold.

Serve warm.
