Recipe: Matcha & Sesame Madeleines

Jump to Recipe - Print Recipe

As well as embarking on my Great British Bake Off Challenge, I am ever so slightly obsessed with Matcha & Sesame madeleines.     I think that I like cooking things with a high effort to glory ratio; that is the least effort for the greatest impression.   Sadly, my minimal efforts on my photography here leave little impression and I will win no prizes for presentation.  My excuse was I was dashing out of the door, so snapped in a hurry to make the most of the daylight.


These little pale green beauties are really quite delicious, the flavours of the  green tea and sesame give a distinctly Japanese feel.  Next time I will add black sesame seeds.

Madeleines are best enjoyed freshly baked, they are at their best within 3 minutes of coming out of the oven, and eaten as soon as they are cool enough to taste.   Fortunately once you have made the batter it will happily sit in the fridge for a day or two before baking, which takes only minutes.   I think I possibly enjoy impressing people with ultra fresh madeleines as much as I enjoy eating them.

Ingredients

  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 90 g Granulated Sugar
  • 65 g Butter (melted and cooled)

  • 2 tsp matcha powder
  • ½ Tsp Baking Powder
  • 10 ml / 1 dsp toasted sesame oil
