28 January - Making Madeleines

 


A little plate of golden madeleines certainly brightened up this most grey and foggy afternoon. They were delicious accompanied by a cup of tea. 


Two little girls helped with adding ingredients, stirring, and sprinkling on icing sugar after baking. We read stories while waiting for the madeleines to bake and cool. Such fun. 


Nothing else to report today. This bowl of oranges is the most colourful thing I've seen today.

  1. Here it is also a grey day. No rain yet but we must put the light on.
    I love Madeleine i like to see them blow into the oven
    I also make lemon ones which are very good with chocolate on top.

  2. Baking together with adults and listening to stories while waiting, could there be anything lovelier for small children?
    I have never made madeleines. Catherine's recipe with chocolate on top sounds very nice too.

  7. A bowl with oranges is always an attractive sight! I usually have organges on display, although pomelo is the only citrus fruit I really like to eat.

  9. What a sweet picture of your little helpers. The madeleines on the white plate look so pretty and I have no doubt they tasted delicious.

  10. What a sweet thing to have some of your grands bake them with you! I have never eaten a madeleine but want to badly. So much so that I requested a good madeleine pan for Christmas and one of the days will get up my nerve to try some of the recipes I've been collecting in anticipation. If they turn out okay perhaps my own granddaughters will want to help me make some the next time they are in town.

    No need for any other report. A plate of warm Madeleines, a cup of tea, and sweet granddaughters . . . it is enough.
