Rose Madeleines with Glittered Honey Lemon Glazed
Ok, I confess I like everything ros-ey, pink-y, and glittery, yes… I am a girly girl 🙂
For my favorite blog event the Sugar High Friday , host this month by Susan, I used all my favorites above, with a little help from the Madeleine Queen, I present to you the sweetest small delights.
Rose Madeleines with Glittered Honey Lemon Glazed
Recipe adapted from here
Ingredients
1 cup (140g) flour, sifted
1 teaspoon baking powder
4 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup (200g) sugar
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1 stick (4 oz/113g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 tablespoon rose water
Glaze:
- 3/4 cup (150g) confectioners’ sugar, sifted
- Juice of a lemon, strained
- 2 tabelspoons honey
- Sparkling candy springkles
Directions
Preheat the oven to 200ºC/400ºF. Lightly grease two 15 ½-by-9-inch (38x22cm) nonstick madeleine pans.
In a separate small bowl, combine the sifted flour and baking powder. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the eggs, sugar and brown sugar. Using a spatula, fold in the dry ingredients until just combined; the batter will be slightly stiff. Add the butter and rose water, mixing until just combined (do not overmix). Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Spread a heaping tablespoon of the batter evenly into each madeleine cup and bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until a hunchback has formed on the cookies and they are golden brown. Unmold them immediately onto a wire rack and allow them to cool completely.
While the madeleines are cooling, make the glaze: in a small bowl, combine the confectioners’ sugar, the lemon juice and whisk until the mixture is smooth. Dip some glaze onto the ridged side of each madeleine, sprinkle the sparkling candy and let the glaze set for about 5 minutes before serving or storing.
