Madeleines with Chorizo Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 chorizo sausage, chopped into small pieces
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 eggs, at room temperature
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray a madeleine pan with cooking spray and set aside.
2. In a small frying pan, cook the chorizo pieces until crispy. Set aside to cool.
3. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
4. In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until light and frothy, about 2 minutes. Stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Add the melted butter to the egg mixture and mix until combined.
6. Add the flour mixture to the egg mixture, stirring until just combined.
7. Stir in the chorizo pieces.
8. Spoon the batter into the prepared madeleine pan, filling each mold about 3/4 full.
9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a madeleine comes out clean.
10. Allow the madeleines to cool in the pan for a minute before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Verdict:

These savory madeleines with chorizo are a great twist on the classic French treat. The crispy chorizo adds a delicious salty and spicy flavor, while the madeleines remain light and fluffy. These make for a great appetizer or snack and are sure to impress your guests.

Serving Suggestions:
