Lime & Hibiscus Madeleines

I love any excuse to use the silicone madeleine pan I picked up at a local cookery store a few years ago so these Lime and Hibiscus Madeleines were a great excuse to take it out and dust it off! Madeleines are small buttery sponge cakes. These French treats are usually baked in a special pan or mold which gives them their distinctive shape.

Start by beating eggs in a stand mixer. Gradually add sugar, followed by vanilla extract, lime juice, lime zest and hibiscus. Add flour and bake in a madeleine pan. To make the glaze, combine confectioner’s sugar with lime juice. Add some hibiscus powder to the glaze. The longer the glaze sits around, the deeper the color will turn so keep that in mind when you are preparing this. Drizzle with the glaze and sprinkle crushed hibiscus leaves and grated lime zest on top.

Steps to make Lime & Hibiscus Madeleines

1	Heat the oven and prepare a madeleine pan	5
Preheat the oven to 375 °F.
2	Beat eggs	3
Place 2 eggs in the bowl of a stand mixer. Beat the eggs for about 3-4 minutes using the whisk attachment until the eggs have tripled in volume.
3	Beat in sugar	2
Gradually add ⅔ cup of sugar to the eggs and continue to beat for about 2 minutes until ribbons appear on the surface of the mixture when the whisk is removed.
4	Add vanilla, lime and hibiscus	2
Turn the mixer off and add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 2 teaspoons of lime juice, 2 teaspoons of lime zest and 2 teaspoons of hibiscus. Use a spatula or metal spoon to fold the ingredients together.
5	Fold in flour	3
Fold in 1 cup of flour carefully until no streaks of flour remain. Pour in melted butter and continue to fold until just combined.
6	Bake	10
Fill the madeleine pan until ¾ full. Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes until the edges are golden.
7	Cool on a wire rack
Remove the cookies from the madeleine pan and leave to cool on a wire rack.
8	Make glaze
Place 1 cup of confectioners' sugar and 2 teaspoons of lime juice in a bowl. Whisk to combine, adding more lime juice as required to achieve a pourable consistency. Add 1 teaspoon of hibiscus powder and stir to combine.
9	Serve
Decorate the madeleines by pouring ½ a teaspoon of the glaze over each one and sprinkling them with grated lime zest and crushed hibiscus petals.
