How To make Lemon Almond Madeleines

x

1/2 cup clarified butter
1 cup blanched almonds
1 cup sugar
2 sticks (1 cup) unsalted butter -- softened
4 large eggs
1 tablespoon freshly grated lemon rind
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon double acting baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
confectioners' sugar for garnish
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. With a pastry brush, butter the madeleine molds well with some of the clarified butter.
In a food processor, grind the almonds with the sugar to a very fine texture. I n a large bowl with an electric mixer cream the butter, add the almond mixture, beating, and beat the mixture until it is light and fluffy. Add the eggs, 1 at
a time, beating well after each addition, and then beat in the rind. Into a bo wl sift together the flour, baking powder and the salt and add to the butter mi xture, alternately with the lemon juice, beginning and ending with the flour mi xture and blending the batter after each addition. Using an offset spatula, spr ead the batter into the buttered madeleine molds, scraping off any excess batte r with the edge of the spatula. Place the filled molds on a baking sheet. Bake the madeleines in the lower third of the oven for 10 minutes, or until golden a t the edges. Turn them out onto a rack to cool. Wash and dry the molds, butter again and repeat process with remaining batter.
Sift the confectioners' sugar over the cooled madeleines prior to serving.
