Sometimes only something baked can soothe the soul

   





 
Bake a batch of these buttery little French cakes to have with a cup of tea or coffee.
Michel Roux 's  Madelines
Equipment and preparation: You will need a 12-cup madeleine tray.

Ingredients

Preparation method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6. Brush the madeleine tray with melted butter then shake in a little flour to coat, tapping out the excess.
  2. Whisk together the eggs and the sugar in a bowl until frothy. Lightly whisk in the remaining ingredients. Leave to stand for 20 minutes before carefully pouring into the prepared madeleine tray.
  3. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the mixture has risen a little in the middle and is fully cooked through. Transfer the madeleines to a wire rack and leave for a few minutes to cool slightly. These are best eaten within an hour of cooking
