Mango Madeleines

April 14, 2015 / Cakes, Cookies

Mango madeleines are a lightly sweet and tender treat for tea time, celebrations, or fending off hungry toddlers.

One of the things I’ve learned about feeding kids over the years is that even while you’re working to expand their taste buds, once you find something that works, you stick with it as long as possible.

The risk of oversaturation is worth the reward of just getting them to eat something in a day when tears happen over the suggestion of eating more than two bites of pork chop.

Mango Madeleines are a lightly sweet and tender treat for tea time, celebrations, or fending off hungry toddlers.

Right now my kids are both obsessed with mango. Juicy pieces cut from the cheeks for my older son, while my younger son has taken to gobbling up “cakies”. Or rather, mango madeleines.

His madeleine obsession isn’t rooted in the flavor or texture (it’s not like I have a tiny Proust in my house, although I suppose even Proust wore diapers and pointed to his bum when he needed a change), but rather it stems from a madeleine-only cookbook I have.

Mango Madeleines are lightly sweet and tender, making them the perfect tea-time accompaniment.

My cookbooks are housed in the kitchen island, at perfect tot level. Yet strangely, he only goes for the madeleine cookbook, and asks us to “read” it to him along with Bear’s Loose Tooth and The Runaway Bunny. If that’s not a recipe request, I don’t know what is.

He has perfect timing, because madeleines are perfect for entertaining, as the recipe makes a lot. And I’m posting today to help celebrate my sweet friend Christina’s baby! You probably know Christina from Dessert for Two, but if not be sure to check out her fantastic blog and book.

Madeleines are actually quite easy to make, despite their snobbish reputation. There are a few keys for success: letting the batter rest, preferably overnight, and using a nonstick pan with nonstick spray (or butter).

These mango madeleines are made with atualfo mangoes, my favorite variety. For the sweetest fruit, buy yellow atualfos and let them ripen further on your kitchen counter.

As the skin gets wrinkly and the fruit softens, the sweetness deepens. Additionally, the riper fruit will be easier to mash for this recipe.

Mango Madeleine are perfect for entertaining.

Madeleines taste best the day they are made, but can be stored in an airtight container for a few days.

    Ms Megan!?!! Whatcha up to?! I can’t believe it’s been FIVE YEARS since we meet in Birmingham. I remember you giving me your business card and explaining to me what ‘stetted’ meant. And I instantly knew you were smart, hip and too cool for me. But luckily, you still liked me and we get to be friends! Thank you so much for the sweet words! I could eat a whole tray of these cookies!

    Much love!!!
