Citrus Madeleines Recipe

	Snufflebunny15 / All my dishes 10 months ago From Cake Mix Cookies by Camilla Saulsberry - found my mom's old madeleine pans and decided to give this recipe a whirl. I messed it up horribly, they were flat little tough nothings. I'm determined to give it one more try and I'll post a pic if I succeed.... More Prep:20m Cook:30m Servings:48	Snufflebunn

Ingredients

Vegetable shortening and all-purpose flour to grease pans

1 (18.25 ounce) package lemon cake mix

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted

1/4 cup orange juice

1 tablespoon grated orange zest

4 large eggs, separated

2 to 3 tablespoons powdered sugar

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Position oven rack in middle of oven.

Grease molds of large madeleine pan (about 3x1 1/4-inch shell molds) with vegetable shortening. Sprinkle with flour to coat pan, shaking off excess.

Place the cake mix, melted butter, orange juice, orange zest, and egg yolks in a large bowl.

Blend with an electric mixer set on medium speed 1—2 minutes, until well blended and smooth. Set aside momentarily. Clean beaters.

In a large mixing bowl beat egg whites with electric mixer set on high speed until soft peaks form.

Stir 1/4 of the beaten egg whites into the cake batter to lighten it; fold remaining whites into batter.

Spoon 1 heaping tablespoon batter into each indentation in pan (do not overfill; batter will spread as it bakes).

Bake until puffed and set at center, about 8—10 minutes. Cool in pan 5 minutes; gently remove madeleines to wire rack. Repeat process, greasing and flouring pan before each batch.

Sift powdered sugar over cooled cookies.

I don't think I let the pans cool enough between the batches and I deflated the egg whites too much. I love the lemony flavor and the zesty touch but they were tough cookies all in all. If you can see what I need to fix let me know and I'll take all hints on the recipe.
