It seems to pop all over the place and I always end up buying. Apparently, I’m holding onto all the anti-oxidant and Vitamin C’s as much as I can admire and stomach.
Also, there are a bazillion variety of citruses here in the States. I’ve never heard of blood oranges before and its a sight of beauty!
Except for the stains. On a marble surface. Considered warned and make these madeleines for consolation. You can cry over spilled stains, afterwards.
Makes 24 madeleines
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted & cooled
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 3 eggs, at room temperature
- 1/2 tsp orange blossom water
- 1 small blood orange, juiced
- 1 small meyer lemon, zested & juiced
- 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
- 1/3 cup almond flour/meal
- 1 tsp baking powder
- pinch of salt
White Chocolate Ganache:
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/8 cup heavy cream
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 375F. Grease madeleine pan. Set aside.
- In a stand mixer, beat melted butter and sugar on medium speed.
- Gradually add 3 eggs and continue beating until liquid is pale and ribbony. It would take about 1 minute.
- Drizzle in orange blossom water, blood orange and meyer lemon juice & zest. Beat to incorporate.
- Sift all the dry ingredients and with the mixer on low, gradually add dry ingredients to incorporate into wet ingredients.
- Remove bowl from stand mixer. With a spatula, scrape batter from the sides & bottom. Do not over-mix.
- With a spoon, evenly fill batter into madeleine pan. Do not fill to the top.
- Bake madeleines for 10 minutes or until the center sets and the edges are lightly browned.
- Remove pan from oven and cool madeleines in the pan for 5 minutes, before removing to cool on cooling rack.
- Meantime, make white chocolate ganache. Heat heavy cream until hot. Pour hot cream over white chocolate chips. Stir and let sit for 5 minutes. Stir until smooth. If need be, microwave for 10 sec intervals until white chocolate is melted through. Do not over-heat.
- Once madeleines are completely cooled, dunk each madeleines into warm white chocolate ganache. Decorate with a sliver of fresh blood orange segments and place it on a cooling rack.
- Serve it up with a side of tea or coffee!
Hope your week is off to a great and cozy start. Family & friends up North East, stay warm and safe.

Thank you!! Love baking with citruses. Doing it as much as I can, before out of season 🙂
I am loving them. What color they add to everything. And as if that wasn’t enough, I have made the husband a addict too! Ha!
About the varieties if citruses, I would say the more the merrier! 🙂

Delicious addiction!
I never tire of citrus! Particularly not Meyer lemons. When we lived in Florida, we had a tree — still miss those lemons. Particularly when I see the prices in the store! 😉 Really good madeleines — thanks.

I am a big fan of blood orange juice. I totally agree about the stain..Oh well, it’s all worth it in the end. Look at those gorgeous madeleines. Amazing.

Thanks love! See past the stain just to enjoy the bounty 🙂
I can’t get tired of blood oranges. So juicy and sweet, they are my favorite type of orange. On the other hand I’m not sure I have ever had meyer lemons. Lemons from Sorrento are awesome too.
These madeleines are definitely inviting, I like the bold citrus accent here!

I can’t too! Meyer lemons are a cross between an orange and lemon. So delicious 🙂
Wouldn’t I find it grand to find a couple of these on my plate along with a cup of tea. The tang of the flavors would probably prompt me to try to get a third one too.

I’m guilty of buying too much citrus too, which means I can make these madeleines :). Love that ganache!

Blood oranges & meyer lemons are the best! They are the positives of this frigid winter! Your madelines look gorgeous, my friend! Would love a few with a cup of tea! 🙂
