Orange Madeleines

I originally saw this recipe on TV but have changed it a bit and it is now one of our favorite breakfast treats.

  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 1 cup plus 1 TBSP granulated sugar
  • 1 cup of all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2/3 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 orange (grated)
  • 1 stick plus size TBSP butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a mini muffin tin with nonstick spray.
  2. Whisk 3 tablespoons of the sugar, the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together in a medium bowl.
  3. In another bowl, whisk the buttermilk, vanilla, orange zest, 2 tablespoons of the melted butter and the egg until just combined.
  4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and whisk until just combined.

  5. Fill a madeline tin with batter, or use a mini muffin tray and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs, 10 to 12 minutes.

  6. Cool slightly and then remove from the pan.

  7. Pour the remaining 1 stick melted butter in a small bowl and, in a separate medium bowl, mix together the remaining 1 cup sugar and the cinnamon.

  8. Brush the tops with the melted butter and roll in the cinnamon sugar. Serve warm.
