DESSERTS
Bittersweet Chocolate Madeleines
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter,
cut into tablespoons
5 oz. bittersweet chocolate,
coarsely chopped
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tbsp. plus 2 tsp. cocoa powder
2 tsp. baking powder
Pinch of salt
4 large eggs, at room temperature
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tbsp. light brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Stasero Chocolate Topping for dusting
To make the batter:
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue to cook until the solids at the bottom
of the pan turn light brown and the butter is fragrant, about 4 minutes. Remove the pan from the
heat and let the butter cool until tepid.
In the top of a double boiler over barely simmering water, melt the chocolate, stirring occasionally, until smooth. Remove the pan from the heat and allow the chocolate to cool until tepid.
Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt into a medium bowl.
Set aside.
Place the eggs in a medium bowl and, using a rubber spatula, stir them just until they are blended and smooth (you don't want to whip them or incorporate much air). Stir in the granulated and light brown sugars until well blended. Very gently, fold in the flour mixture all at once until just blended (do not overwork the batter). Stir the vanilla extract into the cooled butter, then add this to the batter, stirring just until combined. Stir in the melted chocolate. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes or until the batter has thickened slightly.
To bake the madeleines:
Use two regular madeleine pans (don't use nonstick pans)
Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 425B0 F. Spray two madeleine pans thoroughly with nonstick cooking spray, or brush them with melted butter.
Place a dollop of batter in each mold, filling them two-thirds full and mounding the batter slightly in the center. Bake, one pan at a time, for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the madeleines are set and domed in the center; do not overbake, or the madeleines will be crusty. Invert the madeleines onto a wire rack. Dust generously with Stasero Chocolate Topping and serve warm.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a day, but these are best eaten while
still warm.
Makes about 34 cookies.
Orange Almond Madeleines
1/2 cup slivered almonds
1/2 cup granulated sugar, divided
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp. Salt
5 large egg whites, at room temperature
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, cut into tablespoons
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 cup Stasero Orange Syrup
For the Sugar Glaze
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tbsp. unsalted butter, melted
3 tbsp. whole milk
1/4 tsp. Vanilla extract
To make the batter:
Place the almonds and 1 tablespoon of the sugar in the bowl of a food processor and blend until finely ground, about 1 minute. Transfer the almonds to a medium bowl. Add the remaining sugar, the flour, and salt and stir until well blended. Slowly whisk in the egg whites until blended.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Continue to cook until the solids at the bottom of the pan turn light brown and the butter is fragrant, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk butter into the almond mixture until combined. Whisk in the vanilla extract and Fiori di Sicilia. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the batter for at least 2 hours, until cold (or up to 24 hours).
To bake the madeleines:
Use two regular madeleine pans (don't use nonstick pans)
Place two racks near the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray two madeleine pans thoroughly with nonstick cooking spray. Place the pans in the freezer for 10 minutes to set the spray.
Place a dollop of batter in each mold, filling them two-thirds full. Bake for 15 to 17 minutes, or until the madeleines are golden brown and the centers spring back when lightly touched. Immediately remove the madeleines from the molds and place them on a wire rack to cool while you make the glaze.
To glaze the madeleines:
Put the confectioners' sugar in a medium bowl. Gradually whisk in the butter, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Place the rack with the madeleines on it over a baking sheet. Dip a madeleine scalloped side down in the glaze, letting the excess drip off, then place the madeleine on the cooling rack (glazed side up). Glaze the remaining madeleines. Serve the madeleines immediately, or store in an airtight container until ready to serve. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a day.
Makes about 24 cookies.
