Madelaines with Dates

 

Everybody knows, that the madelaines have a basic recipe,

just like cupcakes.

After that, we can "play " with the flavor, which means creating madelaines depending on your taste and budget.

I chose dates because I have them all year around.

I replaced butter with olive oil, but if you like to have tender

madelaines, you should add butter. 

INGREDIENTS :

* 7 oz flour

* 3 eggs 

* 1/2 cup butter (or 1/2 cup olive oil)

* 4 oz sugar

* zest of 1 lemon (or other flavor)

* 1 Tbs baking powder

 * A pinch of salt

* 5 oz dates

* 5 oz almonds grilled & ground

 

STEPS :

Mix flour, eggs, butter, sugar.

   

Baking powder, salt.

Add almonds grilled & grind

Fill the madelaines baking sheet just 3/4 full.

The baking sheet should be greased and floured.

 

Mix the dates until they become a paste.

Just like this.

Add 1 p.c of the date paste in the middle.

Preheat the oven at 460 F, then reduce the heat to 356 F,

just before putting the madelaines into the oven.

Bake 15-20 min.
