Cranberry Orange Madeleines Recipes

CRANBERRY & ORANGE MADELEINES

Steps:

• Put the eggs in a large bowl and whisk for 2-3 mins until light and fluffy. Alternatively, do this in a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Add both sugars and continue to whisk until thick and frothy, about 4-5 mins. Combine the vanilla and butter in a small bowl, then slowly whisk into the eggs.
• Sift the flour, baking powder, ginger and pinch of salt into a bowl, then fold into the egg mixture until smooth. Fold in 3 tsp of the orange juice and all the zest. Cover and chill for at least 3 hrs, or overnight.
• Tip the cranberries into a small pan set over a low heat with the remaining 1 tsp orange juice and extra caster sugar. Cook for 5 mins, or until the berries have softened but still hold their shape. Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
• Butter and flour a madeleine tin. Spoon 1 tbsp of the chilled batter into each of the indents, then push a couple of the cranberries into each madeleine (you'll likely have enough batter to bake a couple of batches). Bake for 8-10 mins, until the edges are golden and crisp and there's a raised hump in the middle of each. Remove from the oven and sharply tap the tin on the work surface to loosen the madeleines. Cover to keep warm while you continue baking the rest of the batter. Serve warm with crème fraîche, if you like.

ORANGE MADELEINES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Grease and flour twenty-four 3-inch madeleine molds. Beat egg white in small bowl with electric mixer on high speed until foamy. Beat in 1/4 cup of the granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time. Continue beating until stiff and glossy; set meringue aside.
• Beat egg yolk, remaining 1/4 cup granulated sugar and remaining ingredients except powdered sugar in medium bowl with electric mixer on high speed 2 minutes, scraping bowl occasionally. Fold in meringue.
• Fill molds two-thirds full. Tap pan firmly on counter to remove air bubbles. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until edges are light brown. Cool slightly before removing from pan. Cool on wire rack. Sprinkle with powdered sugar just before serving.

ORANGE-CRANBERRY MARMALADE

Steps:

• Cut off both ends of the zested orange, and cut orange in half. Peel halves and remove the white core.
• Place orange sections and cranberries in a food processor. Pulse until orange is mostly pulp, using roughly 5 three-second pulses.
• Combine the orange-cranberry mixture, zest, sugar, and water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil and simmer, stirring frequently, for 15 minutes. Let marmalade cool.
• Pour marmalade into a glass jar with a tight-fitting lid. Chill completely in refrigerator before serving.

ORANGE-CARDAMOM MADELEINES

Steps:

• Brush molds of a madeleine pan with butter; set aside. Make the batter: Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat, and stir in honey and vanilla. Let cool 10 minutes.
• Whisk flour, baking powder, cardamom, and salt in a small bowl; set aside.
• Preheat oven to 325, with rack in center. Stir together sugar and eggs in a medium bowl. Gently fold in flour mixture until combined. Add butter mixture, and fold until combined. Cover with plasticwrap, and refrigerate 30 minutes.
• Spoon batter into prepared pan, filling each mold halfway. Tap pan on work surface to eliminate air bubbles. Bake until cookies are puffed and edges are golden, 7 to 8 minutes. Transfer pan to a wirerack; let cool slightly. Unmold cookies onto rack, and let cool completely.
• Make the orange glaze: Stir together sugar and orange zest and juice in a small bowl until glaze is smooth, thick, and opaque. Using a small pastry brush, coat ridged side of each cookie with glaze. Let set 15 minutes. Cookies can be stored in a single layer in an airtight container up to 3 days.
