Yuzu madeleines.

I bought the madeleine baking form inspired by green tea madeleines at work, which we serve as part of  a rather miserable petit four. Can’t remember if I used it before, but this afternoon I made half and half, some of the mini muffins and some of the madeleines. I used the recipe which calls for honey and orange zest, but made them a bit more exciting by adding a zest of one lemon, lost of yuzu juice,lots being around 60 ml I would think and and replacing ground hazelnuts by ground almonds. I also chucked a tbsp of crushed pineapple for extra moisture. So the final list of ingredients;

2 eggs whipped with 110 g of caster sugar, then 50 g of ground almonds, the zest, yuzu juice, crushed pineapple, a tsp of baking powder, 70 g of plain flour and at the end, 100 g of melted and cooled butter. All chilled in the fridge for roughly an hour before baking( 15 minutes in 180 degrees).

Moist, citrusy, enjoyable.
