Green Chile Cornbread Madeleines #BakingBloggers


This month, Sue of Palatable Pastime told the Baking Bloggers that for March we are dusting off our madeleine pans...and we learned that Wendy of A Day in the Life on the Farm didn't have one (but she bought one for this event) and Karen of Karen's Kitchen Stories has five pans! Well, I am somewhere in the middle there. I have a pan and I have used it. But I don't use it often enough. So I am grateful to have some new recipes to try. This is what the #BakingBloggers are sharing...


Green Chile Cornbread Madeleines

Throughout the years, I have made a variety of sweet madeleines from Lavender-Lemon Madeleines to Pink Peppercorn Madeleines. and Mint Chocolate Madeleines (all photographed above). But savory madeleines have been far fewer. I decided to fix that and, as luck would have it, my Precise Kitchen Elf requested cornbread madeleines a few months ago and I am just now getting around to posting the recipe. Perfect timing.

"Oh...and can you make chili to go with those?!?" Ummm...okay. If you haven't figured it out: I'm easily swayed and prone to culinary suggestion. I dug out my madeleine pan.*

Ingredients
  • butter or oil for greasing the madeleine pan
  • 1 cup yellow cornmeal
  • 1 cup flour
  • 2 teaspoons organic granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teasoiib baking soda
  • ½ cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 Tablespoon green chiles, finely chopped
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • ½ cup corn kernels (I used canned, drained and blotted dry)

Procedure

Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease, or butter, your madeleine pan and set aside.

Whisk together the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and baking soda in a medium mixing bowl. Set aside. In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs and then pour in the buttermilk and mix until smooth. Fold in the cheese, green chiles, and corn kernels.

Stir together the wet and dry ingredient until just moistened. Take care not to overmix as the madeleines will get tough.

Place in the oven and bake till the madeleines puff up and the edges are golden, Mine took approximately 13 to 15 minutes.

Remove the pans from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for 3 to 5 minutes. Unmold. You may be able to tap them out; I used a small spatula to ease them out of the molds onto the cooling racks.

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce
