TWD: Traditional Madeleines
|
Alright, ready? This is going to be a whirl wind post. Vacation week, late nights, and lotsa prep still to go.
TWD pick: Traditional Madeleines (check Tara's post for recipe)
Picked by: Tara of Smells Like Home
Background: First attempt at madeleines and first attempt at browned butter
Outcome: Butter too pale, cookies too heavy (but still pretty darn tasty). No bump. As a matter of fact, I got a reverse bump. Oh, and no scallop either.
Conclusion: I gotta give this another try only with normal butter for a baseline.

A reverse bump? Oh my.
Oh darn, you have to try madeleines again, such a chore :) I bet they tasted amazing anyways!
ack--reverse bump! glad they were still tasty!
I think browning the butter may have been worth it anyway...it always adds such a delicious flavor?!
Too bad these didn't come out as expected but at least they still tasted good.
Oh wow, your batter looks really thick. Since most people are only posting the finished result, I wonder if everyone had their batter turn out like that. Mine was real thin in comparison. Now I'm somewhat confused =P
Good to hear that they taste delicious, though.
Try try again! Have a great vacation!
Have a great vacation!

ugh a reverse bump and no scallops. So sorry! I heard brown butter is the way to go and I am going to try that next time! Glad they were so tasty
Sorry about your reverse bump. I like your quick post!
I am laughing at your TWD cliff notes version. Sorry about the reverse bump (not sure how that even happens)!

love the whirlwind post, so funny! sorry they didn't come out exactly to plan, but they look great!
Sorry they didn't turn out to be what you had expected, but I'm glad they were still tasty! :)
a reverse bump?? hmmmm....
can't wait to see how these look the next time you try this
Mine didn't turn out so pretty either, but at least they do seem to taste great even if you don't get the batter/shape quite right. Have a great vacation!
hehe...reverse bump? I'm glad they were still tasty!
Vacation week? Ohhhhhhh, quit bragging! ;)
Have a great time!
A reverse bump?!? How does that work? Great job, regardless. Enjoy your vacation!
Is that like an inny instead of an outie? I'll bet they were just as tasty no matter what they looked like!
Good on you for having a go during such a busy time! Better luck next time with the bump! Hx
Glad to hear that you're going to try again...and that your madeleines turned out tasty!
They still look good - reverse bump or no!
You have the perfect excuse to make them again, lucky you! :)
