Ingredients:
For the Madeleines:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (plus extra for greasing)
- 2 tablespoons Darjeeling tea leaves
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- For the Maple Glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1-2 tablespoons milk
Instructions:
Infuse the Butter:
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the Darjeeling tea leaves and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let the mixture steep for an additional 10 minutes.
- Strain the butter to remove the tea leaves and set aside to cool slightly.
Prepare the Batter:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar until the mixture is pale and thick (about 5 minutes).
- Add the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and ground ginger to the egg mixture, and beat until combined.
- Gradually fold in the flour mixture until just combined.
- Gently fold in the cooled Darjeeling-infused butter until the batter is smooth.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight).
Bake the Madeleines:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Grease a madeleine pan with butter and lightly dust with flour, tapping out the excess.
- Spoon the batter into the molds, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers spring back when lightly touched.
- Remove the madeleines from the pan and let them cool on a wire rack.
Prepare the Maple Glaze:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and maple syrup.
- Add milk, a little at a time, until the glaze reaches your desired consistency.
Glaze the Madeleines:
- Once the madeleines are completely cool, dip each one in the glaze or drizzle the glaze over the top.
- Allow the glaze to set before serving.
Enjoy!
