Redvelvetmadeleines Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
• Place sugar and lemon zest a bowl. Using your fingertips, rub sugar and lemon zest together until sugar is moist and fragrant. Add eggs and whisk until mixture is pale and thickens slightly, about 2 minutes. Whisk in honey and vanilla. Alternatively, this can be done in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment.
• Gently fold in flour mixture in three additions; fold in melted butter until fully incorporated. Stir in milk. Batter should be smooth and shiny. Press a piece of plastic wrap against the surface of the batter; transfer to refrigerator and let chill at least 1 hour and up to 2 days.
• Butter and flour a large madeleine pan. Spoon batter into madeleine pan; transfer to refrigerator for 1 hour.
• Place a heavy, large baking sheet in oven; preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Place madeleine pan on preheated baking sheet. Bake until golden and big bumps on top spring back when touched, 11 to 13 minutes. Remove pan from oven and immediately release madeleines from pan by rapping pan on counter. If any stick, use a butter knife or fingers to help release. Let cool on a wire rack.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees.
• Lightly grease 2 shiny madeleine pans.
• Beat the sugar, eggs, egg yolks and vanilla extract with an electric mixer for 5 minutes on medium-high, or until mixture looks thick and pale.
• Add melted butter and red food coloring, and beat until blended.
• In a separate bowl, sift together the cake flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and salt.
• Fold dry ingredients into the egg mixture.
• Fill each cup of the madeleine pans about 3/4 full (about 1 tablespoon per madeleine).
• Bake for 8-10 minutes, or when madeleines spring back when lightly touched.
• Immediately remove from pans and cool on wire racks.
• Cool completely, about 20 minutes.
• Dust with powdered sugar just before serving (optional).

Steps:

• Combine eggs, sugar, and honey in a large bowl. Whisk gently for 4 to 5 minutes. Avoid whisking too vigorously and do not use high speed if using an electric mixer; the end mixture should be light and frothy.
• Sift flour and baking powder into the egg mixture. Fold in gently until well combined. Add melted butter and salt, stirring well. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill batter in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 460 degrees F (240 degrees C).
• Fill silicone madeleine molds with the batter, filling each 3/4 full.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 1 minute, then reduce the oven temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Bake for 4 minutes, then reduce again to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 5 minutes more.
