my failure...

tulah..orang buat medelaines..i pun nak buat. ikut instructions betul2...but somehow, there's something wrong somewhere..is my oven too hot..it said to heat it up till 425 dengree F alamak..dengree pulak..patut lah agaknyer tak menjadi eh..hahahahhaa....degrees lah tu....i did that..then tak sampai the time that it asked for like 8 mins...dah smell like a bit hang loose gitu.. ( hangus lah tu..) then lower it to 400, still the same..alamak...ni yang macam nak campak jer buku ni tau..but takper..maybe i should try a diff. recipe. boring seh kalau tak jadi..anyway, yang suka makan saper tau..surprisingly, it is sarah..she loved the taste of the orange, chocolate and honey flavours agaknyer. sarina didn't want to eat it at all. boring nyer pasal kan..i amik gambar pun macam half past six gitu..hahahhaha

i am also wondering, how come mine naik macam kuih bolu ahh...ishhh..

sweets, here the recipe for the chocolate-honey madeleines...guess what, this is the second time i bought a cookbook from a well known chocolate inspired chef, and the first recipe that i tried dah tak pass..need to try a few more of his things lah. maybe..it is just me agaknyer..hahaha

ingredients:

4 large eggs
1/2 cup plus 2 tbs granulated sugar
1 tbs light brown sugar
grated zest of 1 or 1 1/2 orange
1 1/2 cupsof all purpose flour
3 tbs dutch processed cocoa powder
1 1/4 tsp baking powder
pinch of salt
10 tbs of unsalted butter
1 tbs honey
softened butter and flour for the molds.

batter:
combine eggs , sugars and orange zest, beat till thick and fluffy. about 15 minutes.

combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking poder and salt and sift into another bowl or wax paper.

combine butter and honey and nuke till butter melted and mix well. can do this in a small pot on the stove too.

remove butter and once cooledm stir about a tenth of the egg mixture into the butter to make it lighter.

next, gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture gradually.

fold the butter mixture into the batter until well combined and refrigerate overnight or up to 3 days.

baking:

heat oven to 425 degrees F ( too hot for me..turned it down to 400 still too hot). butter the mold and put batter into the pan till the top. and bake for 8 minutes and 2 minutes more if it has not firmed up yet.

there you have it :)
