Not-So Madeleine

Madeleines  are small shell-shaped sponge cake commonly recognized as cookie. I don't  have molds so I converted the Madeleine batter into cookie dough.So here we go.

Ingredients :



300 gms of self raising Flour

3-4 tbs of Honey

100 gms of curd

50 gms of  Butter/Oil

1 tsp of  Baking powder

Finely grated zest of  1 lemon and juice of half  Lemon.

Some red and green Fruit candies (commonly called cherries)


Pre-Heat your microwave at 180 degree C , grease your baking tray and keep it aside.Sift your Flour and Baking powder and keep it aside.
Melt Butter mix in Curd , Honey , zest and juice of Lemon and whisk.Now fold in Flour mixture scoop by scoop and bring the mixture together to form a dough.
Roll the dough in walnut sized balls and place them on baking tray slightly apart.Place the candies in center of balls,flatten them with help of back of Fork. Bake them for 10-15 minutes or until they turn golden brown.
Carefully take them out .Eat them warm or cold .With-Without some lemon cream,its your choice..
I am signing off for my much awaited Break. :) will be back by next year ;)
