Madeleines with Lemon Curd



Madeleines have been something I’ve made for years.  I must admit, I’m always looking for the perfect recipe.  Some are too dry, some just don’t taste right; From Martha Stewart to the Joy of Cooking.  But I’m searching no more.  This recipe will replace all others.  It’s light, fluffy, lemony, tender, moist, buttery and slightly sweet, and that’s just the cake portion.  With the addition of a ripe raspberry and piped lemon curd, this one is just over the top.

I love that it can be made in stages.  The day before, I prepped the lemon curd and the madeleine batter.  After all Rachel Khoo recommends refrigerating both overnight.  

All the flavors together were soooo yum.  It was hard to stop eating them.  Yikes!! I’m so full.  My big OOOPS was that I forgot the sprinkling of confectioners’ sugar.  Believe me, It won’t happen again. LOL
