Madeleines

Now, this is one of my favorite recipes. If you are looking for a treat that is quick to make, delicious to taste, versatile and for which you will always have the necessary ingredients in your cupboard, this is for you. These madeleines will always go down like a treat both with young and old and they will always come back for more.

To make the madeleines

ingredients:

• 150g of plain flour
• 150g of softened butter
• 150g of caster sugar
• 3 medium eggs
• flavoring such as vanilla or lemon essence (optional)
• little extras such as chocolate chips or glace cherries (optional)

how to:

Mix the eggs with the sugar until light and fluffy. Add the flour, the softened butter and your flavoring and little extras if you have opted for some.

Place the mixture in baking molds for madeleines and bake in hot oven for about 8 to 10 minutes. I use silicone molds and they can be bought online or in any major department stores.

Enjoy!

Market day

I really like this hessian bag. It is ideal for going to your local market to buy your fresh fruits and vegs. I can just see myself in Provence, with a white sun hat and sandals, buying fresh local produce going bonjour and merci! However, if you are not in a region where the sun is shining and the crickets are singing, well, you can still enjoy your grocery shop with this gorgeous bag.

You can also use it for the beach, for going to classes, for all occasions when when you don’t want to be using your usual plastic bag with advertisement for your local shop all over it or simply if you want to hold something unique that will not be seen in every street corner.

You can go to shop cecileandgisele on Etsy  to find it.
