Madeleine

Salam semua,

Hari ni kepala ni rasa berat sangat sebab malam tadi secara tiba2 demam panas tapi badan sejuk tak hengat. Rasa macam dah berkelubung habis dalam duvet tapi still menggigil-gigil, tapi en hubby cakap badan rasa panas giler.

Tu yang pagi ni rasa tak larat sangat nak bangun, nasib baiklah umi masih ada kat sini, so terpaksa lah mintak umi yang tolong siapkan bebudak tu ke sekolah.

Neway, resipi ni kira resipi tertangguh lagi sebab Madeleine ni buat kelmarin, masa buat majlis bbq kat rumah sempena Ustaz Maulana yang nak pulang ke Abu Dhabi.

Madeleine ni sejenis kuih tradisional Inggeris dan kaedah nak membuatnya ala2 buat kuih bahulu melayu dan rasa pun seakan2 sama.

Some facts about madeleine :-

The madeleine (French pronunciation: [mad.lɛn], English /ˈmædleɪn/) or petite madeleine ([pə.ti mad.lɛn]) is a traditional small cake from Commercy and Liverdun, two communes of the Lorraine region in northeastern France.

Madeleines are very small sponge cakes with a distinctive shell-like shape acquired from being baked in pans with shell-shaped depressions. Aside from the traditional moulded pan, commonly found in stores specialising in kitchen equipment and even hardware stores, no special tools are required to make madeleines.

Some sources, including the New Oxford American Dictionary, say madeleines may have been named for a 19th century pastry cook, Madeleine Paulmier, but other sources have it that Madeleine Paulmier was a cook in the 18th century for Stanisław Leszczyński, whose son-in-law, Louis XV of France, named them for her. The Larousse Gastronomique offers two conflicting versions of the history of the madeleine.

Madeleines were chosen to represent France in the Café Europe initiative of the Austrian presidency of the European Union, on Europe Day 2006.

Ok, jom tengok resipi pulak. Resipi ni dari buku the Big Book of Baking. So far memang tersangat puas hati lah membeli buku ni sebab semua cake, cookies dan pastries yang dicuba, semuanya menjadi :)
