ORANGE MADELEINES (WILLIAMS SONOMA)



Orange Madeleines (Williams Sonoma) image

These are buttery spongey little cookie cakes. They are best served slightly warm. You need a special shell-shaped pan that is generously buttered and floured to prevent the delicate cookies from sticking to the pan. This recipe makes 12 but can be easily doubled. My 2 friends finished 10 of these cookies in no time flat and came looking for more. I didn't tell them that I had saved 2 for myself!

Time 20m

Yield 12 madeleines

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 large eggs
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 cup all-purpose flour, sifted
1 teaspoon orange zest
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the middle of the oven, preheat to 375°F Using a pastry brush, heavily brush room-temperature butter over each of the 12 molds in a madeleine pan, carefully buttering every ridge. Dust the molds with flour, tilting pan to coat the surfaces evenly. Turn the pan upside down, tap it gently, and discard the excess flour.
  • By Mixer: In a large bowl, combine the eggs, granuated sugar, and salt. Beat on medium-high speed until pale, thick, and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the vanilla and almond extracts. Sprinkle the sifted flour over the egg mixture and mix on low speed to incorporate.
  • Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the orange zest and half of the melted butter just until blended. Fold in the remaining butter.
  • Divide the batter among the 12 prepared molds, using a heaping tablespoon of batter for each mold. Bake the cookies until the top springs back when lightly touched. 8 - 12 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the oven and invert it over a wire rack, then rap it on the rack to release the madeleines. If any stick, use your fingers to loosen the edges, being careful not to touch the hot pan, and invert and rap again.
  • Let cool on the rack for 10 minutes. Using a fine-mesh sieve, dust the tops with confectioner's sugar and serve. Alternatively, cover with plastic wrap and store at room temperature for up to 3 days. Before serving, heat the cookies in a 250F (120c) oven until warm, then dust with the confectioners' sugar.

BANANA BREAD BY WILLIAMS-SONOMA



Banana Bread by Williams-Sonoma image

This banana bread is "number one" to me. I used to throw banana bread away after the first couple slices, since it never lived up to my expectations. I save the last sliver of this one, carefully wrapped in plastic, and savor the last bite. The loaf bakes up evenly in the pan, making less of a peaked top. I believe it is the 3 eggs that does this. You will not find a gummy center in the middle of this loaf. Look on the Williams Sonoma website for a photo. To ensure consistency I use very ripe bananas and measure them mashed.

Time 1h5m

Yield 1 loaf, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
1 cup sugar
3 very ripe bananas, mashed (1-1/2 cups measured)
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup buttermilk (you can substitute "homemade" by letting milk plus tablespoon vinegar set for 10 minutes)
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon fresh nutmeg (or 1/2 tsp. dried- I use about 1/2 fresh) (optional)
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup coarsely chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 350°F.
  • Grease and lightly flour a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the flat beater, beat together the butter and sugar on medium speed until creamy, about 1 minute.
  • Add the bananas and eggs and beat until smooth. Add the buttermilk and beat just until combined.
  • In a bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, nutmeg, salt and nuts.
  • Add the flour mixture to the banana mixture and beat just until combined.
  • The batter should be slightly lumpy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
  • Bake until the loaf is dark golden brown and dry to the touch and the edges pull away from the sides of the pan, 55 to 60 minutes.
  • A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
  • Let the bread rest in the pan for 5 minutes, then turn the loaf out onto a wire rack and let cool completely.
  • Cut into thick slices to serve. Makes one 9-by-5-inch loaf.
  • Storage Tip: Wrap the bread tightly in plastic wrap and store at room temperature overnight or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cake Recipes

Yield Makes 36

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, plus more for pan
1 cup sifted all-purpose flour, plus more for pan
4 large eggs
1/4 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon orange-flower water
1 teaspoon grated orange zest

Steps:

  • Butter and flour madeleine molds thoroughly. Set aside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Melt butter and let cool.
  • Beat together eggs, salt, and sugar until very light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla and orange-flower water. Fold in flour, then the melted butter and orange zest.
  • Pour batter into molds almost to the top. Bake for 10 minutes, or until cakes are firm in the center. Let cool for 1 minute in molds, then turn out onto racks.

Tips:

  • Make sure to use fresh oranges for the best flavor. Clementines or tangerines can be substituted, if desired.
  • Zest the oranges before juicing them to get the most flavor out of the fruit.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help the madeleines rise properly.
  • Fold in the flour and baking powder gently. Overmixing will make the madeleines tough.
  • Chill the batter for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the madeleines develop their characteristic shape and texture.
  • Bake the madeleines in a preheated oven until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the madeleines to cool slightly before serving. They can be enjoyed plain or dusted with powdered sugar.

Conclusion:

Orange madeleines are a delicious and classic French pastry that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With their light and fluffy texture and zesty orange flavor, these madeleines are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
