Description

It's all the same recipe: only the execution varies.

Ingredients

  • 1⁄4 lb butter, softened
  • 1⁄2 c sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 c flour
  • 1⁄2 t Vanilla Extract or extract of yor choice

Instructions

Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs and beat. Add vanilla and any additional flavorings. Blend in flour. Stir briskly.

Madeleines: Grease 2 12 cup muffin tins or madeleine pan. Do not use paper liners. Fill each cup with 1 Tbsp batter and bake in 375 degree oven for 15 minutes. Cool for at least an hour. Should be crisp on bottom, cakelike on top like a cake style brownie more or less.
Baby Poundcakes: Grease (or paper line) 12 cup muffin tin. Fill each cup with 2 Tbsp batter and bake in 350 degree oven for 30 minutes. Cool for 30 minutes.Dust with powdered sugar and serve.

Notes

Grated orange/lemon/lime rind and maybe a splash of citrus juice are nice in this. Ginger, anise or sweet cinnamon are good additions. Could be adapted to a loaf cake pretty easily or made into proper muffins with addition of 1/2 cup or so of fruit, another egg and possibly some baking powder.
