「ココナッツのマドレーヌ」Coconut Madeleines

finally got my lazy self to post something! plus i'm procrastinating...=P

the sister-in-law of my sister-in-law request'd a madeleine recipe after see'n my a pic of my 1st ever batch of madeleines on my fb wall from June & i was craving coconut so...

i baked coconut madeleines!

madeleines are simply small shell-shaped buttery cakes. they're not hard to make, but i can't get them to taste like those from starbucks. i used to buy a lot with 30% employee discount. pop'd them in the oven for 30 seconds & ate them warm with their crunchy edges & buttery cake-i-ness...MMM MMM MMM!!!! the ingredients are basic - egg, sugar, flour, vanilla, but beats me why the starbucks' ones taste SOOOOOOOOO much better.

anyways, mine's are pretty yummy too!!! especially fresh & hot straight outta the oven & into my mouth, just how i like it!!!

i even glazed some of them with a coconut milk powder/sugar mix, but made them very sticky & messy. gotta figure out why the lemon glazes aren't sticky...hmmm?
