RIVER ROAD SPINACH MADELEINE

This is my adaptation of the recipe in the River Road Recipes cookbook from the Junior League of Baton Rouge, La. This has been around at least since the 1960's and is still a favorite. It tastes better the next day after it is made. It freezes beautifully.

Time 40m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (8 ounce) package baby spinach, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 pinch salt
½ cup half-and-half
1 teaspoon granulated onion
½ teaspoon granulated garlic
¼ teaspoon ancho chile powder
1 pinch cayenne pepper
⅔ cup shredded habanero-flavored cheese (such as Cabot®)
2 tablespoons panko bread crumbs

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid any mishaps.
  • Use Fresh Spinach: Fresh spinach has the best flavor and texture for this recipe. If you can't find fresh spinach, you can use frozen spinach, but be sure to thaw it and squeeze out any excess water before using.
  • Don't Overcook the Spinach: Spinach cooks very quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Use a Non-Stick Skillet: A non-stick skillet will help prevent the madeleines from sticking. If you don't have a non-stick skillet, you can grease a regular skillet with butter or cooking spray.
  • Don't Overfill the Madeleine Molds: When filling the madeleine molds, don't overfill them. Otherwise, the madeleines will rise too much and become misshapen.
  • Let the Madeleines Cool Before Serving: Once the madeleines are baked, let them cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help them set and make them easier to handle.

Conclusion:

River Road Spinach Madeleines are a delicious and elegant treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give these madeleines a try. You won't be disappointed!
