Lavender Madeleines

Today kicks off one of my favorite events of the year, Spring Sweets Week. Winter has definitely overstayed it's welcome this year and nothing helps lift your spirits like bright spring flavors!

This post is sponsored in conjunction with #SpringSweetsWeek. I received product from sponsor companies to help in the creation of my recipes.  All opinions are mine alone.

I've been working on my madeleine making skills for a few years now.  When I saw the extract pastes that Taylor & Colledge sent for us to use in our recipes I thought a lavender one with a vanilla glaze would be lovely.

The most important thing about madeleines is that you make sure to beat them for long enough, until the dough 'ribbons" and to chill them for long enough.  My first test pan of 6 I baked after 60 minutes chilling time and they did not get the classic hump.

The second try they'd been chilling for two hours and look at how beautifully puffy they turned out! They are amazing plain, but I dusted a few with powdered sugar and those were good too.

But I couldn't get that glaze idea out of my head!  I went ahead and dipped the madeleines on an angle and then sprinkled them with some sanding sugar in spring colors.

Everything just works so well together, the lavender base with the touch of Selefina cinnamon, the not super sweet vanilla bean extract glaze, and then the festively colored sugar.

Thank you Selefina Spices and Taylor & Colledge for sponsoring Spring Sweets Week! Be sure to check out the recipes from the other talented bloggers being shared all week long!

Author: Jolene's Recipe Journal

Ingredients

  • 1/2 stick butter + 3T for coating the pans
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons Taylor & Colledge lavender extract paste
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Selefina cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
  • Sanding sugar (optional)
 
Glaze (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon Taylor & Colledge vanilla bean extract paste
  • 1/2 cup confectioner's sugar
  • 1 to 2 Tablespoons water

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter. Set aside. Beat eggs, lavender extract paste and salt on high speed with electric mixer until light. I like to use the whisk attachment.
  2. Add the sugar slowly in a steady stream, beating continually. Continue to beat on high speed until mixture is thick and pale, and ribbons form, about 5 to 8 minutes. Sift together flour, baking powder and cinnamon and fold into egg mixture in 3 additions.
  3. Fold the melted butter quickly but gently into the batter. Let the batter rest for ar least 2 hours.
  4. Heat oven to 375º. Melt 3 tablespoons of butter. Using a silicone brush, coat the Madeleine molds. Divide batter evenly among indentations in the Madeleine pans, filling to about 3/4 full.
  5. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until golden and they spring back slightly when pressed. Move to a wire rack and let them cool completely.
  6. Enjoy as is, dust with powdered sugar or make glaze and decorate with sanding sugar
For the glaze
  1. Combine vanilla bean extract paste, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, and 1 to 2 Tablespoons of water to desired consistency. Dip half the madeleine into glaze, let excess run off. Place on rack or parchment paper and sprinkle on sanding sugar if desired.

    Copycat Dunkin Donuts Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites

    I'm a huge fan of the Dunkin Donuts Power Breakfast sandwich, so when I started seeing ads for the new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites I stopped in and gave them a try.  They were delicious, but of course, I knew I could make them at home.  I started with the whites of six eggs. You can use pasturized whites if you don't want to do the whole separating, finding a use for the yolks thing.  I beat them up with some salt and pepper.   Next up, the tomato and spinach.  I used grape tomatoes, seeded them and then chopped them into 1/4" pieces. I like baby spinach, and I took about 10 leaves and chopped those up into 1/4" pieces as well. I added that to the egg mixture.  When you pour it into the pans, be sure that it all gets evenly distributed. They bake up pretty quickly, around 9 minutes or so.  Dunkin gives you two egg bites, the mini donut serving size is three. I pop them in ziplocs in the fridge and just pull a bag and reheat them in the microw...

    Stuffed Waffles

    I wasn't sure I was going to blog these stuffed waffles since it was the first time I tried using the new iron but since I'd already taken the pics as I went I figured, why not? They aren't perfect but they are delicious! I'd seen videos floating around TikTok and Instagram of people making stuffed waffles so I hopped over to Amazon and ordered the Elite Gourmet version.  The instructions were fairly straightforward but there was no recipe so I made up a batch of Classic Waffle batter. Then I scoured the fridge for things to stuff them with.    First up, some leftover taco meat from the previous night and Fiesta blend cheese,  pepperoni and mozzarella cheese and lastly some strawberries and cream cheese.   For the taco stuffed I added the taco meat and cheese in the middle and then set out some salsa and sour cream to top them with.  Learning curve lesson 1- make sure your ingredients are all room temp before you start, they will bake much quicker....

    Copycat Dunkin Donuts Bacon and Cheddar Omelet Bites

    Since I already came up with a version of Dunkin Donuts new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites for myself, I decided to make the other variety that they are offering, Bacon & Cheddar, for my husband. Super simple.  Beat up some eggs with salt and pepper.  Add in some shredded cheddar and a slice of bacon cut into 1/4" pieces (I used kitchen shears).  Bake them for about 9 minutes in sprayed mini donut pans. They baked up light and fluffy.  The bacon stayed crisp and there's just the perfect amount of cheese.   I split them up into portions in zip top bags and that way we can just grab a bag and warm them up. My husband laughed when I told him 3 is the serving size.  I'll definitely be doubling the recipe next time!
