BLUEBERRIES ORANGE MADELEINES

I have left over blueberries from my pavlova project...ha..ha..made one batch of these madeleines for tea. These Madeleines combine my two favourite flavour combo’s, orange and blueberry and it makes perfect hi tea menu. 

They’re light, super buttery and they’re bursting with fresh blueberries and zingy orange goodness! 

Blueberries Orange Madeleines

1 cup flour

1 tsp baking powder

2/3 cup sugar

4 large eggs

zest of 1 orange

1/2 cup melted butter, cooled, plus more to grease your pans

1/2 pint blueberries

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. 

2.  Mix flour and baking powder in a bowl. In another, whisk together sugar, eggs and orange zest until smooth. 

3.  Add flour to the egg mixture one third at a time, making sure the flour is completely incorporated each time.  As you add the last third of flour, add the melted butter before mixing it all in.

4.  Put the batter into the fridge to stay cool as you grease your madeleine pans.  (If you only have one pan, just be sure to keep your batter in the fridge while your first batch is baking)

5.  Fill each mould 2/3 of the way and press in 4-5 blueberries.

6.  Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown along the edges.  Let cool for at least 10 minutes before carefully removing them from the mould.  I like to use a spoon to loosen the edges before pushing them out with my fingers.
