slake

Per another reviewer - I followed instructions for Madeline’s II and didn’t wait the hour resting period in this recipe - who has time for that?! I used 4 tbsp of lemon zest, reduced the lemon juice to a squeeze (since I was worried about sogginess/denseness other reviewers warned about) and added 1/4 tsp lemon extract instead. Tip - butter the mould but also the flat surfaces in between the Madelines so if they puff over - they can still come out of the mould easily! These came out perfectly baked! Not dense or too airy. Not too rich or dry and perfectly lemony. A light dusting of confectioners sugar finished them off. Planning to make again this weekend!

Really good!! Very versatile recipe. Subbed half the butter with applesauce. Melted the butter and added it to the wet ingredients along with the sugar instead of creaming the butter and sugar. I used 3 medium ripe bananas instead of 2. Added 1/2 tsp baking powder since other reviewers commented their bread didn't rise. Also added 1/2 tsp cinnamon. Finally, like other reviewers , I used 2 cups frozen blueberries and coated them with a bit of the dry ingredients so that I didn't use any excess flour in the recipe. Very good!!! Baked 4/5ths of the batter in a loaf pan (lined bottom only with parchment, no butter on sides) and made 3 muffins with rest of batter (I was making some testers!). Baked at 350 for about 1 hour, 10 min. Rose beautifully, wasn't too sweet, nice crumb and was golden brown.

I was looking for a macaroon recipe that was light, fluffy and not too sweet. This was it! I also did not pulse the ingredients in the food processor since I like the long strands of coconut. I went with 3 tbsp. of flour instead of 1. Like other reviewers, I baked at 325 for 20 minutes. I dipped the bottoms in chocolate. I love this recipe because it is so easy!
