Madeleine with matcha tea

The famous French biscuit «Madeleine» I have already cooked, it is very tasty and very tender, but all the time I want to try something new, experiment with new flavors. This time I cooked madeleines with matcha tea according to the recipe of the famous pastry chef Sadaharu Aohi. The cookies turn out tender and spongy, slightly reminiscent of a muffin, and matcha gives a light tint and amazing flavor of tea. By the way, matcha can be easily bought in specialized tea shops – it is a very fine powder of dark green color with an original aroma. It's not cheap, but experimenters will definitely love it!

Yes, I made a double batch at once, and I got about 45 pieces, which disappeared literally in a day.

And it's a very fine, dark-colored powder, but for those who like to experiment, it's a must-have.

Heat the oven to 180 degrees.

Grease the madeleine molds well with butter and sprinkle with flour. (I only did this the first time, then I just dumped the dough into the mold and baked and it came off the mold perfectly). If you don't have special molds for madeleines, you can bake the cookies in cupcake molds, filling them one-third full.

Fill the prepared madeleine molds two-thirds full with dough and bake in the preheated oven for 6-10 minutes. It is easier to use a pastry bag to pipe the dough.

Fill the molds with one-third of the dough and bake for 6-10 minutes.

A properly baked cookie should have a nice slide (sail) on top and a shell mold pattern imprinted on the other side.

«To the Turks, simit – what baguette is to the French. It's not just a bread. It's a way of life. They start their mornings with simit, they eat simit at noon and get a good energy boost...

Especially since the process is not very long and complicated.
