Madeleines are the ideal bite-sized treat for afternoon tea.

With a dusting of icing sugar or a drizzle of icing, this dessert is fantastique and oh so tasty!

Ingredients

Method

1.

Preheat oven to 180° C fan-forced (200° C conventional). Place a 9-hole silicone madeleine pan on an oven tray.

2.

Beat eggs, sugar, lemon rind and vanilla in the small bowl of an electric mixer for 5 minutes, or until thick and creamy.

3.

Sift flour and baking powder twice, then fold into egg mixture with butter. Put half the batter into the holes of the madeleine pan.

4.

Bake for 10 minutes, or until golden and firm to touch. Stand in pans for 8 minutes, then carefully transfer to a wire rack over an oven tray. Wash and dry pan and repeat with remaining batter, stirring mixture before filling pan a second time.

5.

Meanwhile, for the icing, sift icing sugar into a small bowl and stir in enough lemon juice to form a smooth icing consistency.

6.

To serve, either dust cakes with extra icing sugar, drizzle over lemon icing, or dip tops in lemon icing and sprinkle with chopped pistachios.
