Lavender madeleine

Lavender smells so good, I saw some lavender desserts in culinary books but I can't make them because I couldn't find any lavender sold in the supermarket... until I found they are sold here!

Lavender's smell is strong, so 1 full tablespoon is enough.
It is great when serving with lavender herbal tea :)

This recipe is not too fatty/ oily as the ones you buy in the supermarket, I like it :)



Ingredients
1 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
a pinch of salt
1 tbsp (full) culinary lavender, crushed

2 large eggs at room temperature
75g sugar
1 tsp vanilla

115g butter, melted
Extra butter & flour for greasing & dusting

Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 190°c
Grease madeleine mould. Dust with flour

2. In a mixing bowl, mix flour, baking powder, salt, lavender
In another mixing bowl, beat eggs, sugar and vanilla until light fluffy

3. Add flour mixture to egg mixture, and then melted butter
Fold the mixture until well incorporated

Put the batter in the fridge and let it cool down for 1 hour

4. Use a table spoon to scoop the batter into each mould and place it in the center of the mould
Note: If you didn't cool the batter in the fridge, fill the mould almost full

5. Bake for 10-12 mins or until the edges become golden

6. Let it fix in the mould for 5-10mins then remove the madeleine from the mould

Enjoy!
