Madeleines With Lemon Curd And Raspberries Recipes

MADELEINES WITH LEMON CURD

Steps:

• Warm the lemon juice and sugar in a saucepan over medium-low heat until the sugar dissolves.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs and egg yolks together until pale in color. Slowly stream in the lemon juice from the saucepan, pouring the juice in one tablespoon at a time, whisking well after each addition.
• Pour the entire mixture back into the saucepan and whisk over low heat until the mixture turns thick and pudding-like. Move the saucepan off the stove and stir in the unsalted butter.
• Transfer the lemon curd to a medium bowl and cover with a sheet of plastic wrap, placing the plastic wrap directly onto the lemon curd. Refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Brush softened butter onto a madeleine pan; temporarily set aside. Whisk the sugar and eggs in a large bowl until pale and foamy. You can do this by hand or use a hand mixer.
• Add the flour and baking soda to the batter, whisking to combine. Follow with the lemon zest, vanilla extract, and the butter (melted). Stir everything to mix; batter will be thick. Chill the batter for about 15 minutes in the fridge.
• Pour 1 tablespoon worth of batter into each mold. Bake the madeleines for about 9 to 10 minutes, until their golden along the edges and spongy to the touch. They should also have formed small "humps." Turn the madeleines out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
• Fill a pastry bag fitted with a bismarck tip with lemon curd. Poke into the humps of the madeleines and squeeze out the lemon curd until the lemon curd seeps out from the hole you've created in the madeleine. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

MADELEINES WITH LEMON CURD AND RASPBERRIES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whip the eggs with the sugar until pale and thickened. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder and lemon zest. Combine the milk and honey with the cooled butter, then add to the egg mixture. Add half the flour and gently fold in. Add the remaining flour and fold in. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour or overnight.
• When ready to bake, preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray madeleine pans (or mini muffin/cupcake pans) with baking spray or brush with butter. Fill each well with a heaping tablespoon of batter, pressing a raspberry into each one. Bake for 5 minutes, then reduce heat to 325°F (160°C). Bake for 5-6 minutes more or until lightly golden around the edges. Transfer to a wire rack and leave until cool enough to handle. Wash and dry the pans and repeat baking until all batter is used.
• Fill a piping bag or plastic, zip top bag with the lemon curd. Snip a very small opening and pipe about a teaspoon of curd into the raspberry. Dust each madeleine with confectioner's sugar and serve.

Steps:

• For the madeleines: Beat the sugar with the eggs until pale and frothy. Put the flour and baking powder into a separate bowl and add the lemon zest.

Transfer the madeleines to a wire rack and leave for a few minutes until cool enough to handle. Repeat with the remaining batter and raspberries. While the second batch is baking, pop the piping nozzle into the mound in each baked madeleine and squirt in a teaspoon's worth of lemon curd. Repeat with the second batch.
