Cornbread Madeleines With Jalapeño image

The inspiration for these madeleines came from a jalapeño-studded cornbread served at Gloria restaurant in New York. While the restaurant serves them in four-inch disks, that is too large for a holiday gathering. So I made them in madeleine pans (a corn-stick mold would work equally well, though it will make only about 15). In place of the jalapeños, you could add bits of Cheddar, ham, or minced olives or sun-dried tomatoes. The madeleines freeze beautifully. (Reheat them on a baking sheet covered in foil at 275 degrees for 10 to 15 minutes.)

Time 1h

Yield 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup finely chopped shallots
3 1/2 ounces jalapeños, (about 6 medium), stemmed, seeded and minced
3/4 cup corn meal, preferably stone ground
1 cup corn flour, preferably stone ground
2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup whole milk
3/4 cup buttermilk
2 large eggs

Steps:

  • Use 1 1/2 tablespoons of the butter to grease 3 madeleine pans (12 madeleines each). Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Place remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons butter in a small skillet, add shallots and sauté on medium 6 minutes or so, until soft and barely beginning to brown. Mix with jalapeños in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Combine corn meal, corn flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda in a large bowl and whisk to blend. Mix milk and buttermilk with the eggs in another bowl, beating just enough to blend. Pour wet ingredients over the dry ingredients and fold together. Fold in the shallots and jalapeños.
  • Spoon batter into madeleine molds, filling them almost to the top. Bake 15 minutes, until firm to the touch. Let cool 30 minutes, then remove from pans. Serve warm, or set aside to rewarm and serve later.

These were a disaster! The batter was too thick and the madeleines didn't cook evenly. I ended up throwing them away.

I thought these were just okay. The cornbread flavor was a bit too strong for me and the jalapeño was a bit too spicy. I wouldn't make these again.

These were a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. He said they were the perfect combination of sweet and spicy.

These were easy to make and turned out great! I used a mini madeleine pan and they cooked perfectly in about 10 minutes. The cornbread flavor was delicious and the jalapeño added a nice spice. I served them with butter and honey and they were perfect

I'm not a huge fan of cornbread, but I thought these were pretty good. The jalapeño added a nice flavor and the madeleine shape was fun. I would definitely make these again.

I love cornbread, and I love madeleines, so I was excited to try this recipe. They turned out great! The cornbread flavor was rich and savory, and the jalapeño added a nice kick. I served them with honey butter and they were perfect.
