Madeleine with Pistachios

I love to have always some desserts ready at home to have them with tea or coffee, especially when I receive friends. Of course, my favorites desserts are home made. The madeleines  are easy and quick to prepare, within half an hour they are ready; this is why I use to make them when I invite my friends over. One good  friend of mine who lives now in another country recently told that she misses the madeleines I made and asked me for the recipe. So I decided to make her happy, and to share this recipe with you today. I hope you will enjoy it as well.

It is recommended that you have the special mold for this shape of madeleine.

Ingredients: for about 14 pieces

• 2 eggs
• 70 gs of butter+ one tablespoon soft butter
• 3/4cup of icing sugar
• 1 cup of all purpose flour
• 1and a half teaspoon of baking powder
• 3 tablespoons of roughly chopped pistachios
• a pinch of salt

Preparation:

• Preheat the oven on 200C, and grease the madeleine’s mold with the soft butter
• In a bowl mix the eggs with the sugar
• Melt the butter in the microwave and add it to the mixture
• Add the flour and the baking powder and mix well, and at the end put the pistachios
• Fill each of the molds with some batter, and bake in the oven for 10 minutes. Don’t let the madeleines be over cooked
• Remove  from the oven, and let it set for a few minutes in the molds, then remove it and let it cool on a wire rack.

ET VOILA.. C’EST TOUT:)
