\"007\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I got the recipe and idea from Arthur of Art is in the kitchen.<\/a>  He makes the most <\/p>\n

beautiful food I\u2019ve EVER seen.  And I love the way he shares his pictures and recipes.<\/p>\n

But when I tried to make these parchment paper boxes- it was a major failure.<\/p>\n

His were all the same size- folded with a knowledge of origami and they were perfect.<\/p>\n

Mine?  Well, I had to staple them to keep them together, they are all different sizes,<\/p>\n

and I gave up after the third one looked worse than the first.<\/p>\n

\"001\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I have limited folding skills.<\/p>\n

\"007\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So I pulled out my small molds and pans and after deciding against the cat\u2019s <\/p>\n

tongue cookie and the madeleine\u2019s ( although these taste like a large madeleine)<\/p>\n

used the small loaf pans in a row.  I have NO idea what this pan is supposed to be used<\/p>\n

for- I use it to make small loaves.  Not bread- fruitcake, Sobao Pasiego, banana bread, etc.<\/p>\n

\"006\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I lined the pans with parchment paper and baked them.<\/p>\n

And then as soon as they cooled off a little- I promptly ate<\/p>\n

two of them. <\/p>\n

With a cup of tea.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been thinking about these for a long time, and just<\/p>\n

decided to give them a joyous impromptu taste test !<\/p>\n

THAT\u2019S how I know they taste like madeleine\u2019s! <\/p>\n

\"005\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I saved the cakes- in fact \u2013 I froze them, because otherwise I would<\/p>\n

have eaten them too.<\/p>\n

If you like buttery, lemony, slightly spongey and delicious- then you<\/p>\n

understand. <\/p>\n

These are not safe in my house.<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s my take on the recipe if you are interested.<\/p>\n

Maybe these little cakes will be safe in your house.<\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/u><\/p>\n

I cup AP flour<\/p>\n

1\/2 cup sugar<\/p>\n

1\/2 cup melted butter<\/p>\n

2 large eggs, separated<\/p>\n

1\/2 tsp baking powder<\/p>\n

1 lemon rind, grated<\/p>\n

1 tsp rum or anisette<\/p>\n

a pinch of salt<\/p>\n

Method:<\/u><\/p>\n

Beat egg whites until firm.  Set aside.<\/p>\n

Sift together flour,salt and baking powder.  Set aside.<\/p>\n

In medium mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar until <\/p>\n

creamy looking and then add lemon rind and egg yolks.<\/p>\n

Fold half of egg whites into the butter mixture, add rum,<\/p>\n

and then fold in the flour mixture.  When mixed, add the <\/p>\n

rest of the beaten egg whites and fold.<\/p>\n

Fill whatever receptacle you decide to use about 2\/3 full <\/p>\n

and bake in preheated oven at 350 degrees F for 8- 15 minutes,<\/p>\n

or until golden brown.<\/p>\n

Have I mentioned that these are delicious with a cup of tea?<\/p>\n

or coffee?<\/p>\n

or milk?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
