Savory Mini-Madeleines image

A basket of warm mini-madeleines ends the meal at Rôtisserie Georgette in Manhattan. But in the summer of 2017, the owner Georgette Farkas challenged one of her chefs, Stephanie Abrams, to come up with a savory version to pair with a predinner drink. They're easily made at home; the recipe produces a generous quantity. But they freeze beautifully and can be defrosted and warmed for about 20 minutes in a 325 degree oven.

Time 50m

Yield 75

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 ounces unsalted butter, melted
1 cup cake flour
1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon herbes de Provence
4 large eggs
2 tablespoons sugar
1 cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
1/4 cup minced niçoise olives

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. Use a little of the butter to grease one or more mini-madeleine pans. Whisk together the flour, pepper, cream of tartar, baking powder and herbes de Provence, and set aside.
  • Using an electric mixer with a whisk attachment, beat the eggs with the sugar until the mixture is thick and light, about 4 minutes. Stir in the flour mixture on low speed or by hand and mix in the butter. Fold in the cheese and olives.
  • Pipe or spoon batter into prepared pan or pans, and bake about 8 minutes, until lightly browned. Remove from pan to a rack and repeat, as needed, to use remaining batter.
