How to Make Voyager’s Cider Mill Madelines
Ingredients
4 eggs
180 g. sugar
60 g. cider reduction*
275 g. all-purpose flour
15 g. baking powder
225 g. melted butter
Zest of 2 lemons, minced
Cinnamon-sugar
*Cider Reduction: Bring one gallon of apple cider to a gentle boil in a large pot. Occasionally skim the foam off the surface and discard. As the cider reduces, lower the heat to prevent the sugars from burning, and to maintain a gentle boil. You will end up with 1-2 cups of amber-colored syrup, the consistency similar to honey. When cooled, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Directions
In a medium metal bowl, add eggs and sugar. Using a kitchen towel, hold the rim of the bowl with one hand, set over a low flame, and mix the eggs and sugar together with a rubber spatula. Stir until the sugar has dissolved (about 2 minutes). Transfer to the bowl of a stand mixer with whip attachment and beat on medium-high speed until light and ribbony (about 3 minutes). Reduce speed slightly and stream in your cider reduction. In a medium bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder. Add this to the egg mixture, and carefully fold them together using a rubber spatula, trying not to deflate. Transfer to the refrigerator for one hour. Melt butter in a small saucepan, and add the zest. When cooled slightly, add this butter to your batter. Prepare madeleine pans by buttering and flouring them, or by using a baking spray containing flour. Spoon or pipe the batter into each madeleine mold so that it is 3/4 full. Place the pans into the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Bake on a sheet tray until golden brown (about 14 minutes). Allow to cool for 5 minutes, then toss in cinnamon sugar.
