You won't know and believe how much I love Kumquats! It is so delicious when you use this in your bakes and trust me, it is heavenly delicious! Earlier this year, I have made this Kumquat Almond Teacakes and it is so yummy and delicious that how I wish I could get kumquats all year round.
I have made one batch of Kumquat Almond Teacakes and gave to my relatives last week and now using some of the kumquat puree, I made Kumquat Madeleines!

Spoon batter in a greased

Bake for 7 minutes at 220C.
See the slight humps, and according to some recipes that called for with or without baking powder, Chef David Lebovitz quotes "The question of baking powder is up to you. If you use it, there's a
greater likelihood they'll be a hump and the cakes will be fuller and
plump. But some say baking powder shouldn't even be in the same room
with madeleines, so I'll leave that decision up to you."
This is the Kumquats and if you like to try and use this in your bakes, I highly recommend you to try the Kumquat Almond Teacakes first.
Madeleines just reminded me of when I was working in KL, there is a new lady boss join in the company and she got all mixed up and confused of the 100 over staff's name who is who...and called me "Madeleine"..... !!

ReplyDeleteYou are my kumquat person. You made several recipes of kumquat (after I started following you, not sure how many recipes you have total!) and they all look great. I never even thought of using kumquat in dessert until I saw your posts. Madeleines look beautiful. I will bake madeleines next year for sure. It's my favorite, and it's time to try!

Mel,

Oh! Kumquat in them, i bet they are so delish.
How i wish i can have one now : )
mui..^^
What a nice nickname, hehehehe. At least it's something delicious!
ReplyDeleteI have been eyeing this recipe for a long long time too, wanting to try it, but not yet!
how do you make the kamquat puree? Do you need to peel of the skin?
ReplyDeleteNo you dont need to peel the skin. Clean the whole kumquat, slice half and remove out the seeds. Weigh your kumquats, then weigh sugar and water in half of the kumquats weights, meaning in ratio like this : 2 : 1 : 1. (eg. if your kumquat after clean, slice and seeds remove wighing at 400g, weigh
DeleteYour sugar and water in 200g.). Put all the ingredients in a saucepan and cooked till the kumquat transparent. Then you can puree it.
