I'm not much of a joiner. It took Jen forever (months?) to convince me to sign up to participate in Baked Sunday Mornings--which is ridiculous, because, in case you haven't noticed, we're pretty big fans of Baked around here. (see: here, here & here). I have no idea why it took me so long to get on board with an excuse to bake along with others, and potentially make friends in the process. I'm reserved on the Internet, I guess?
Why I started this week, I have no idea. I don't even own a Madeleine pan. I've never made Madeleines before. Who do I think I am?
...I'm a lady with a lot of people to bake for, and a sweet Mama who lends me specialty pans upon request.
These Madeleines are not for the purist. They are for the chocolate-addicted baker, who is married to a man with an affinity for malt. While I enjoy both chocolate and malt, I found the recipe's original directions of dusting the cookies malt powder and cocoa to be a little drying. I opted to dip half of the cookies into melted semi-sweet chocolate, which was crazy delicious.
Don't worry, I gave some to my mom.
Welcome to the group! Your madeleines look wonderful and I loved how you dipped half of them.
ReplyDeleteThank you, I'm excited to be here!
DeleteWelcome to the group! Glad you decided to join! Love the look of your madeleines dipped in chocolate. Good idea. I too found them to be dry with the dusting of cocoa and malt powder.
ReplyDeleteThank you! These are actually from my second batch, I found the dusting too harsh on the first set, and had to do some creative kitchen problem solving.
DeleteWelcome! Good job!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the warm welcome!
DeleteWelcome, welcome! I admit... a few of mine ended up with a drizzle of leftover melted chocolate on them too. Much better!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Great minds!
DeleteHello and welcome, Chloe! If you liked BAKED, you'll like it here-- this group is pretty rad. :) Nice work on the madeleines-- I love the idea of dipping them in melted chocolate! I'll have to give that a whirl next time for sure!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm a Baked fanatic, I just had to join.
