I am trying to eat less sugar these days. So I used Truvia instead of sugar when I baked madeleines.
What is Truvia? It is a new all-natural sweetener made from three main ingredients - stevia leaf extract, erythritol and other natural flavors. So Truvia has no calories! And it's sweet and natural! But I used a conversion calculator because the degree of sweetness of Sugar and Truvia is different. If you want to see conversion calculator, Click!
And I tried to use almond flour to reduce the amount of carbohydrates in flour to make a little healthier sweet treat!
Ingredients
70 g cake flour (less 2/3 C)
30 g almond flour (1/4 C)
30 g honey
5 packets Truvia (60 g of sugar = 7 packets of Truvia, but I reduced 2 packets)
2 eggs
1 stick butter
3 g baking powder
1 T lemon juice
* sugar 1 T = Truvia 1 + 1/2 t

In the past madeleines were somewhat unfamiliar with Korean people. In Korea there was a popular tv drama whose main character liked to eat madeleines. The main character is a baker and describes the sensual madeleines as plump and having plenty of wrinkles. As the popularity of the drama grows, so does the popularity of madeleines. So, people started to make and buy madeleines. The original shape is seashell but I did not have a madeleine pan, so I made them different. (I used a Nordic ware tea cake and candy mold)
Ingredients
1 and half sticks butter
2 eggs
3 T milk
3 T honey
1/2 C sugar
1 C + 2 T flour
3/4 t baking powder
1 t vanilla extract
Directions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Melt the butter in the microwave for 1 minute.
Add honey to the milk and warm it up in the microwave for about 15 seconds until it is completely melted.
Mix egg and sugar together and add to milk mixture.
Add flour to milk mixture and mix slightly.
Add melted butter and vanilla extract and mix well.
Leave it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Spray oil on the pan..
Fill the pan 3/4 full and bake for 15 minutes.
While the madeleines are slightly warm put them in a container for one day to soften them.
Enjoy!
