On Monday we baked classic French meringue cookies. We’ve made these before a couple of times. We covered half in pralinettes, and the other half in coconut. I gave mine away – I can’t eat all of this stuff! I really can’t. I tried for a couple of months.
We also baked chocolate macarons. These were made using the French meringue method, so they were a little trickier. The filling is made of dark chocolate, butter, raspberries, and raspberry booze. These were good too, but I prefer the pistachio. I gave these away too. Heh heh.


Today we made apple tarts; the shell was made from sweet dough, and the filling was apple, butter, and turbinado sugar. The topping is a “nougat” made from egg whites, sugar, almonds, and cinnamon. These tarts were tasty. I give them an A+ for taste, and a C- for appearance.

These are the lemon madeleines we baked. They were quite lovely. Perfect with a hot cup of tea.

And last, chocolate espresso tarts. Chocolate tart dough filled with a chocolate, egg, butter, espresso mixture, and a chocolate glaze.

All together now.

More petit fours tomorrow! Thank you to everyone who entered the Hodgson Mill giveaway! The winner is….

ReplyDeleteI love madeleines. Simple little treat that tastes great. Pretty humps on yours.
ReplyDeleteWow! The macaroons looks great! It's really not an easy thing to make!
ReplyDeleteI don't blame you! I don't bake nearly as much as you and I'm always needing to pawn stuff off (though I certainly try to eat it all ha!)
