ASHLEY'S MOCHA MADELEINES



Ashley's Mocha Madeleines image

There are classic madeleines (a la Proust) and chocolate ones, but Ashley Ristau takes hers a step further, with a mocha-flavored batter and an espresso glaze. "It's a marriage of sweet and bitter," which makes the cookies an excellent choice at the end of a meal, she says.

Yield Makes 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 large eggs
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cake flour (not self-rising)
1/4 cup best-quality cocoa powder, plus more for tins
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon ground espresso (not instant)
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 ounces (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus more for tins
2 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar, plus more if needed
1/4 cup brewed espresso or coffee, plus more if needed
1/2 teaspoon ground espresso (not instant)

Steps:

  • Make the madeleines: Beat eggs, granulated sugar, and vanilla with a mixer on medium speed until frothy, about 4 minutes. Whisk together flours, cocoa powder, baking powder, ground espresso, and salt.
  • Fold flour mixture into egg mixture in 2 additions using a rubber spatula. Fold in melted butter until incorporated. Refrigerate overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Butter madeleine tins, and dust with cocoa powder, tapping out excess. Refrigerate prepared tins until ready to use.
  • Fill each mold with 1 heaping tablespoon batter. Bake until a cake tester inserted into centers comes out clean, 7 to 8 minutes. Immediately turn out madeleines onto a wire rack.
  • Make the glaze: Whisk together confectioners' sugar and brewed espresso. Stir in ground espresso.
  • Once cooled, dip half of each madeleine into glaze at an angle; let excess drip off. (Glaze should be opaque when covering madeleines. If too thick, add more brewed espresso. If too thin, add more confectioners' sugar.) Transfer to parchment paper, and let dry until glaze is set, about 30 minutes.

MADELEINES

Categories     dessert

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
Grated rind of one lemon
4 ounces (one stick) butter, melted
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 cups all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375. Beat sugar and eggs together until thoroughly blended. Add lemon rind and melted butter. Mix to blend. Sift together dry ingredients. Add all at once to egg mixture. Stir just to blend. Allow mix to sit at room temperature for approximately 10 minutes. While mix is resting, generously butter Madeleine molds. Spoon mix into molds, filling approximately 3/4 full. Bake approximately 15 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Turn over immediately onto cooling screen. Wipe out each mold cavity, rebutter and fill again until desired number or all mix is used. Store in airtight container until ready to use.;

Tips:

  • Use good quality chocolate. The chocolate is the star of the show in these madeleines, so it's important to use a good quality chocolate that you enjoy the taste of. A dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% is ideal.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the madeleines tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the batter rest before baking. This will allow the flavors to develop and the batter to thicken slightly, which will help the madeleines to rise evenly.
  • Use a hot oven. The madeleines should be baked in a hot oven so that they rise quickly and develop a nice crust.
  • Don't overbake the madeleines. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly. Bake the madeleines just until they are golden brown around the edges and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Conclusion:

These Mocha Madeleines are a delicious and elegant treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you are serving them for breakfast, brunch, or dessert, these madeleines are sure to be a hit.
