Madeleine Cake

Introduction:

"Madeleine Cake (shell cake) is a small French dessert, originally used for home cooking. It is Proust, the French literary magnate, who has contributed to its promotion to the world cake palace. Proust's memory of the taste of the shell cake made him write a long literary masterpiece "reminiscence of the past", which also put the shell cake on the stage of history. It's rumored that madeleines are also known as Madeleine commerce. It's said that it's a family style snack in commercey, France. In 1730, reguchinski, the Polish king of gourmet, was in exile in Mersey. One day, his personal chef disappeared when he arrived at the dessert. At this time, a maid baked her special snack and sent it out for emergency. Unexpectedly, reguchinski was very popular, so he used the maid's name madeleines in the name of the snack, Madeleines is the real name of the shell cake. ---It has been used on the Internet for a long time. It's hard to say what formula and making method are absolutely authentic, but the basic image and method will have a general outline in books and on the Internet. The author has also seen many recipes and making methods about Madeleine Cake, which have their own characteristics. Remember that when Amazon bought a Madeleine Cake Mold, it sent a Madeleine formula with the goods, It is mentioned that lemon shavings or orange shavings can be put in the batter. I have seen some recipes and also mentioned the lemon shavings. This is exactly what I want. Lemon flavor has always been my favorite. But I have to say that the prescriptions given by Americans or Westerners generally use too much sugar. If we use their recipes, 50-70% of their sugar is enough. This time, we basically use them Mr. Meng's prescription was changed from xiangjishi peel to lemon peel. She didn't have brandy and orange wine at home. She replaced it with rum temporarily, but the finished product was very good. Some stores, bars or cafes sell Madeleine with icing on it. I think it's too sweet and greasy for my family to do it. I remember that I went to Starbucks in Rome town (a big town in northwestern Georgia) with my husband to have coffee, and I was just hungry. When I saw Madeleine's cake was so cute, I bought three of them. I thought it was good Good to enjoy some afternoon tea time, but a bite down, cake sweet salty, how also can't swallow down, in order not to waste, reluctantly on the leadership point of green tea swallow, leadership also tasted a mouthful, also yelled too sweet, really sweet to eat, so, usually do snacks, see is a foreigner's prescription, with sugar I must discount, let alone put sugar on the surface It's frosty. I suggest that home-made food should be delicious and healthy, and there is no need to pursue the so-called authenticity

Production steps:

Tips: first, the butter in some recipes is taken out from the refrigerator and put into the micro oven to melt. I think it's better to pass it at room temperature. Second, don't scrape the lemon peel or orange peel too deep, because the white layer of lemon peel or orange peel has a bitter taste. Third, when brushing the baking oil, it's better not to use peanut oil or flavorful oil, otherwise it will taste. Fourth, generally speaking, the book is not good The temperature and time given on the Internet are only for reference. Due to different brands of ovens, different power and different ovens with the same temperature, the actual temperature will be different. We just need to master our own ovens. If the oven is overheated, the theoretical temperature will be slightly lower, and the plate of cakes or bags is too hot, so the temperature should be adjusted next time Things are dead, but people are alive. thank you!!
