This week's recipe with the French Friday's with Dorie group is
Honey-Spiced Madeleines. I haven't made madeleines in a long time...well actually I think this was my second time making them! I did have the madeleine pan, so I was excited to make these.
As Dorie states in the recipe, they are not your typical madeleine, but I thought they were perfect for Fall with the spices of ginger, cinnamon and cloves. I think this could be the first cookie-cake I ever put ground pepper in! It was just a pinch, but I laughed when I did it :-)
After making the batter and letting it chill for 3 hours I filled the madeleine pan.
The recipe makes 12.
Here they are after baking 11 minutes, I am hoping here they all pop out of the pan!
Yes, they all came out without any problem. They smell so good, I can't wait to have one.
To me madeleines are the perfect "Tea Time" treat! I made a pot of Pumpkin Creme Tea to go with them! They were delicious... I think because I had good luck with this recipe I will be trying Dorie's recipe for the Classic Madeleines next time!
P.S. They also make a great breakfast treat with coffee! I am just that kinda girl...I like cookies for breakfast :-)

Around My French Table by Dorie Greenspan does not post recipes but I would highly recommend buying this cookbook, it has become one of my favorites!
How fun - it looks like you got the perfect "hump" on the backside to go with these!
ReplyDeleteYeah! Perfect!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely tea set, these were probably the perfect little cakes/cookies for an autumn high tea.
ReplyDeleteAnd I admit that I too might have had a few leftovers for breakfast the next day:-)
beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great combination between the pumpkin creme tea and the spicy madeleines. Yours turned out lovely, Kendra.
ReplyDeleteYours look wonderful! I love that the recipe inspired inspired the pumpkin tea. Sounds pretty much perfect!
ReplyDeleteLooks good!
ReplyDeleteYour Madeleines look so perfect! Your pumpkin tea sounds so yummy...bet they were great together.
ReplyDeleteThey're gorgeous! And yet another beautiful tea time vignette.
ReplyDeleteI love having things like this for breakfast too! Just a little something sweet to cut the bitterness of coffee or to pair nicely with a new tea I'm into... then a heavier lunch or something. You got some nice humps on yours as well!
ReplyDeleteThose look absolutely perfect! Cookies for breakfast sounds like a sensible plan to me.
ReplyDeleteI always love reading about Fridays with Dorie because you guys try such exotic things. I have the madeleine pan but still haven't ever made them. I just wanted to. So pretty.
