Try this easy-to-bake Eggless Thandai Madeleines recipe for Holi celebration, they not only taste great but also made fancy by using melted chocolate and nuts as simple decorating ingredients.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup- All-purpose flour/Maida
- ¼ cup + 3 tbsp- Caster Sugar/White or Brown powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp- Thandai powder
- ½ tsp- Baking soda
- 1/8 tsp- Salt
- ½ cup- Buttermilk (read note for substitute)
- 3 tbsp- Vegetable oil/Olive oil
For Decorating
- Melted White Chocolate
- a few drops- Red gel food colour
- Pistachios/Almonds (chopped) for sprinkling
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 180 degrees C. By using a pastry brush grease the grooves of the Madeleine tray with vegetable oil, keep aside.
-
In a bowl, mix all the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, thandai powder, salt, and caster sugar).
-
Now add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients mixture, whisk well until a lump-free batter forms.
-
Add 1 ½ tbsp batter to each groove of the Madeleine tray, simply fill each groove halfway up.
-
If you’re using a silicone Madeleine tray (I also used the same), keep the silicone tray over another metal baking tray for easy handling during baking.
-
Tap the tray gently on the kitchen counter a couple of times to release the air bubbles.
-
Bake for 20 minutes or until a wooden skewer inserted in the center of one of the Madeleines comes out clean.
-
Cool the Madeleines in the tray for 10 minutes and then release them with a spoon gently over a cooling rack, leave there until cool completely.
-
Bake another batch of Madeleines with the rest of the batter.
-
You can decorate the Madeleines just the way I did to make them look fancy for the Holi party.
-
Mix in a few drops of Red gel food colour to the melted White Chocolate, drizzle the chocolate over the Madeleines, and sprinkle some chopped nuts immediately before the chocolate hardens.
-
Store the Madeleines in an airtight container, keep refrigerated and consume within 5 days.
