Baking in Boston

Rosewater & Matcha Madeleines

2011-03-16T21:41:00.001-04:00

Made these for Iain's Ukulele class.

Recipe from Jamie(Aug/Sep10):

- 2 eggs

- 100g caster sugar

- 100 plain flour

- 125g butter

- lemon zest

- 1tbsp rosewater

- icing sugar

For matcha flavor, just skip lemon zest & rosewater and use 1tbsp matcha power (mixed with 1tbsp water to make paste) instead.

Simple but delicious!

Very convenient for a lazy wife like me. Ha!

Make one for dinner and have enough leftovers for two lunches.

200g plain flour

125g cold butter

1 egg

Form a dough then refrigerate until ready to use.

Blind bake at 190C/375F for 15mins.

Remove weights and bake at 170C/350F for another 10min.

Filling

4 eggs

300ml cream (double cream, single cream, milk, or mixed)

Anything you like, cooked (I put bacon, spinach, and Gruyere cheese)

Birthday Cake -- for Akiko

2010-05-15T00:43:00.004-04:00

Akiko生日聚餐的蛋糕~
基本的Sponge Cake + Berries + Whipped Cream
家附近的超市莫名其妙的沒有新鮮草莓
只好冷凍草莓當夾層~
然後用新鮮的黑莓加上自製的Strawberry Rhubard Compote裝飾

可惜是個扶不起的阿斗~

一切就散散去了~
