These delicate little cookies may look as if they came from a French bakery, but the recipe -- also featured on Martha Stewart Living TV -- is actually quite simple. After baking, you need only pour the warm cassis glaze over the bonbons; once they're dry, decorate them with easy-to-make Royal Icing.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes

Yield Makes about 2 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 12

8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature
3 1/2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
3/4 teaspoon pure lemon extract
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons whole milk
1 2/3 cups cake flour (not self-rising)
1/4 cup hot water
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon cassis
Royal Icing

Steps:

  • Make the bonbons: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Line a baking sheet with a Silpat baking mat or parchment paper, and set aside.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter and 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar on medium speed. Add 1/4 teaspoon lemon extract, lemon zest, and salt. Mix to combine.
  • Add milk, and reduce mixer speed to low. Slowly add cake flour, and mix until well blended and the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
  • Transfer the dough to a clean work surface, and divide in half. Roll each half into a 14-inch-long log. Cut each log into fourteen 1-inch pieces. Roll each piece into a dome. Place domes on prepared baking sheet, spaced 1 1/2 inches apart. If dough becomes too soft to handle, chill for a few minutes.
  • Bake bonbons until firm but not golden, 25 to 27 minutes. Transfer bonbons to a wire rack set over a piece of waxed paper to cool.
  • Make the glaze: In a small bowl, stir together remaining 3 cups confectioners' sugar, 1/4 cup hot water, corn syrup, oil, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon lemon extract until smooth. Add cassis, and stir until smooth.
  • Pour half of the warm glaze over the tops of the bonbons. Let bonbons set, about 15 minutes.
  • Repeat Step 7. Wait until glaze is dry, then decorate bonbons with royal icing: Place royal icing in a pastry bag fitted wtih the tip of your choice; pipe icing onto bonbons. Place decorated bonbons on a wire rack to set.

  • Mix the Limoncello, lemon juice and simple syrup with ice in a cocktail shaker for 5 seconds and strain into the glass to about ½ inch from the rim.

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemons and black currants: This will give your martini the best flavor. If you can't find fresh black currants, you can use frozen or dried currants instead.
  • Make sure your lemon juice is fresh: Bottled lemon juice can be used in a pinch, but fresh lemon juice will give your martini a much better flavor.
  • Don't overshake your martini: Over-shaking will dilute the martini and make it watery. Shake your martini just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Garnish your martini with a lemon twist or a black currant: This will add a touch of elegance and flavor to your drink.
  • Serve your martini chilled: A chilled martini is the perfect way to cool down on a hot day.

Conclusion:

The lemon cassis martini is a refreshing and elegant cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. Whether you like your martinis sweet, sour, or somewhere in between, the lemon cassis martini is sure to please.
