Not Paying Attention to the Madelines


For breakfast: blueberry madelines with dark chocolate chips.
What I learned from baking this morning:
1. Do not bake when you are daydreaming
2. Do not bake in a rush
Madelines are the one baked good I could do with my eyes closed. I have one madeline recipe I know by heart and all the madelines I've made are variations of this recipe adjusted for mood and tastebuds. Madelines were the one baked good I never messed up until today.

The batter was too wet. The cookies did not brown evenly. They tasted disappointingly heavy. Needless to say, my mind was elsewhere while I stood there measuring, mixing...I don't daydream too often when baking...today must have been an 'off' day.

Past Madelines:
Lemon Madelines
Cherry Madelines
Chocolate Chip Madelines
