((Intro

In an attempt to organize all my recipes and share them with fellow cooks and bakers, I've started a blog. Initially my recipes were a collection from friends, family, cookbooks, magazines and yes, even newspapers! Now many of my recently acquired recipes are adapted from blogs and cooking show websites.

Thank you for visiting my blog. I hope that along the way you enjoy a few of my recipes and make them some of your favorites too!

Count the memories, not the calories!

Orange Spiced Madeleines



½ cup butter
2 Bigelow Orange Spice tea bags
2 tbsp boiling water
4 eggs
⅔ cup sugar
1 tbsp orange zest
1 cup all-purpose flour
¼ tsp baking powder

2 tbsp powdered sugar
¼ tsp cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray madeleine pans with nonstick cooking spray.

In a microwave safe bowl, melt butter. Set aside. Place tea bags in 2 tbsp boiling water and steep for five minutes; then pour into melted butter.

Meanwhile, beat eggs and sugar for 5 minutes on medium-high speed. Once the batter is pale and doubled in volume, gently fold in the orange zest.

In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder. Add sifted flour in three parts, gently folding flour into egg batter after each addition. Slowly pour butter into the batter while folding it in.

Spoon about 1½ tbsp batter into each shell. Bake madeleines for 8 to 10 minutes. Cool completely. Combine powdered sugar and cinnamon and dust cooled madeleines with mixture.
