Tea time is the best time
I have an easy, elegant and scrumptious little cookie to share with you today! It's a Melting Moments cookie baked in a mini Madeleine pan! I used the same recipe as my Melting Moments Sandwiches with Raspberry Buttercream, but this time I pressed pieces of the dough into my French Madeleine pan, baked them, then sprinkled them with powdered sugar to serve. I used this same technique for my Orange Shortbread Madeleines. I really liked the way this pan showed off the lovely details of the Melting Moments cookies. I used a darker non-stick pan for the orange shortbread madeleines and they weren't as pretty. I didn't even have to butter the pan before baking. Then I let them cool for 3 or 4 minutes, gently tapped the pan on the counter and they fell right out. I let them cool completely on a wire rack, and dusted them with a light sprinkling of powdered sugar. How easy is that?! I think these are a perfect easy addition to a Spring Tea Party menu! Madeleine inspired MELTING MOMENTS 2 sticks (250g) butter, softened 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (I used clear) 1/2 cup (80g) icing (confectioners') sugar, sifted 1 1/2 cups (225g) all purpose flour 1/2 cup (75g) cornstarch (cornflour) Preheat oven to 325F (160C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Into a bowl, sift together the all purpose flour and the cornstarch/cornflour. Beat butter, extract and confectioners' sugar with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. On lowest speed, add flour mixture in two batches. Divide dough into quarters. Onto a surface dusted with a light coating of powdered sugar, Roll each quarter into a log about 9"-10" long and 1 1/4" round. Slice each log into 1/2 inch wide slices and press each piece into a Non-stick Mini Madeleine pan. Bake for about 15 minutes. Let cool in pan for 3-4 minutes. Remove cookies from pan by gently tapping on work surface, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Makes approximately 80 tiny cookies. To serve: Lightly dust cookies with powdered sugar then arrange on a vintage plate. Place a few edible flowers around for an extra pretty touch! Enjoy! Today I'd like to sit and sip Forget about the world a bit, Ignore the things I have to do, And just enjoy a cup or two. - Unknown
