Boissier Madeleines

 1st thing in New York, just for old times sake, Bear wolfed down all the madeleines he'd brought back from Paris as a gift for someone else.

 Madeleines from Boissier in the 16th.
 
 Bear was hoping to get tea at elegant Boissier.
 
 But comme d'habitude he was too late.
 
 But that didn't stop him buying up the store
 
 As much as possible
 
 c'est la vie
 
 Meanwhile back on the homefront, Bear got the bright idea to make cornbread madeleines with a few tiny changes naturalement like using orange juice and zest instead of milk with a dash of ginger etc.
 
 Malheureusement the first batch were too big
 And left in the oven too, too long!
 
 The second batch came out parfait! Baked in just 10 minutes no longer.
 
 Bear is going out for Thanksgiving
 And since Bear doesn't much care for jalepenos in his cornbread, he's bringing his own wrapped in the empty Boissier package. What do you think? Should Bear try to fool Viv and her 9 cats?
 Boissier does have one of the prettiest shopping bags in town so it's worth a try non?
Next trip Bear won't be late for tea at Maison Boissier.

  4. Luscious! I'm lecher-ing the computer screen, both for the cornbread madeleines and the cobalt blues of that Boissier vitrine.

    The cats are much more interested in eating the floral centerpiece that arrived today than in any people food, so have no fear: it's strictly paws-off the cornbread.

    See you soon!

    Thanks for your comment, I'm not sure I'm adventurous enough to go purple, maybe just one item ;-)

    1. Easy peasy Chef
      Be sure and let the batter rest 30 mins+ not that you need me to tell you that!
      Another trip - I heat the madeleine tin in the oven before adding the batter.
      Then thye pop rt out but I bet you know that.

  11. Oh that Bear! Has he heard that Truth is Beauty. Does he really care?

    Anyhow, best wishes for a very Happy Thanksgiving. This post has caused my eyes to drift to my vintage madeleine pan up on a very high shelf. Think it might be time to give it a good wash and another excursion in the oven.

  15. Happy Thanksgiving to you and Bear, Carol! I made Bailey's cheesecake, not cornbread madeleines. Those sound good--I like the notion of the OJ in lieu of milk. Enjoy!!

  17. We love to make madeleines but the addition of orange juice and ginger sounds delicious.

  18. You could sell your cornbread madeliene idea to Jiffy! I guess Bear redeemed himself!

  19. I agree with you Sketchbook Wandering, you can build a small business for combread madeliene. Happy thanks giving day!

  20. While planning out next assault on Paris (next year) we were talking about madeleines, and thinking that we hadn't really seen them about. Who has your favourite madeleines?

    1. I would have to do a 'flight' of madeleines as you do on your 'raids'.
      Though I am sure the BEST madeleine I ever tasted was Chef Marthe's right out of the oven.
      Home made is ALWAYS the best!
