Here is a recipe for ** Lady Star Deluxe Earl Grey Black Tea Madeleines** , blending tradition and modernity through the subtle use of tea. This recipe aims to be accessible to everyone, guiding step by step towards reproducing a unique taste experience.
### Ingredients
- **150g of flour**
- **130g of caster sugar**
- **125g butter**, plus a little for the molds
- **3 eggs** at room temperature
- **1 teaspoon of baking powder**
- **2 tablespoons of milk**
- **2 spoons of Earl Grey Deluxe "Lady Star" Black Tea
- **Zest of 1 organic lemon**
### Material
- Madeleine mold
- Small saucepan
- Bowl
- Whisk or electric mixer
- Sieve
### Preparation
1. **Butter Infusion**: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Off the heat, add the Earl Grey tea bags and let it steep for 10 minutes. Then, remove the tea bags, pressing well to extract all the flavors. Let the butter cool slightly.
2. **Preparing the dough**: In a bowl, mix the eggs and sugar until the mixture whitens and becomes frothy. Gently fold in the sifted flour and baking powder, being careful not to overwork the dough.
3. **Adding the Flavors**: Add the tea-infused butter and lemon zest to the mixture, then mix gently. Finally, add the milk to loosen the batter. If possible, let the batter rest in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour; this will allow the flavors to develop and ensure the madeleines are nicely rounded.
4. **Baking**: Preheat your oven to 200°C. Butter and lightly flour the madeleine molds. Fill the molds 3/4 full with the batter.
5. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the madeleines are golden brown and the famous "bump" appears. Precision is key: monitor the baking to ensure the madeleines don't burn.
6. **Removal and Finishing**: Let the madeleines cool for a few minutes in the mold, then turn them out onto a wire rack. For a finishing touch, you can sprinkle lightly with icing sugar or a little finely ground Earl Grey tea.
### Notes
- Resting the dough is crucial for the development of the aromas and the final texture of the madeleines.
- The infusion of butter with Earl Grey "Lady Star" tea brings a subtlety in the taste that makes these madeleines unique.
- Lemon zest adds a freshness that balances the aromatic depth of the tea.
With this recipe, you invite your guests on a sensory journey that combines pastry traditions with the innovation characteristic of your Japanese culinary art.
