Did It Again

Today, I tried baking again, this time green tea madeleines. The recipe is from youtube, I had problem with the green tea powder which requires cream to mix it but the specified amount of cream required is not enough to make the green tea powder smooth. I use part of it, I and hubby tasted and

Found the green tea is overpowering, next time, I think I use just 5 gm instead of 20 gm.

The rest of ingredients is okay and this time round it requires beating the batter over hot water and there's no need to leave the dough overnight.

I am quite happy enough, to see the dome and the crack as what others did.



Recipe:

Green Tea Paste
20 gm Green Tea Powder
30 gm Heavy Cream

Madeleines Batter
120 gm Eggs (2 large eggs)
100 gm Sugar
30 gm Honey
120 gm Flour
30 gm Almond Powder
1 tsp Baking Powder
120 gm Butter (melted)

Mix the green tea powder and heavy cream in a small bowl
Add the heavy cream little by little.
Beat the eggs together with the sugar and honey in a large metal bowl.
Place the bowl on a double boiler and keep beating until the sugar fully dissolved.
Remove from the heat when the mixture reaches about 39 degrees.
Add the sifted flour, baking powder and almond powder to the egg mixture.
Mux the dry ingredients into the batter (use whisk)
Than add in green tea paste.
Add in the warm melted butter - all at once.
Mix gently until you have a smooth batter.
Grease the madeleine pan with butter, powder with flour, invert the pan on a baking paper to remove the flour.
Fill the molds with batter, 80% full.
Bake for 10 mins in your pre-heated over at 226 degrees. (i use 200)
