Madeleines with Lemon - Moringa Glaze with Coconuts

Madeleines are something intricate and special, so closely knit to the French cuisine, a classic, a staple of French Patisserie. In combination with a lemon moringa glaze and sprinkled with coconuts, I have given this French bakery a west African twist. Easily made, all you need a is beautiful Madeleine form that will give these little bakes the typical shape that makes them recognizable.

I have used moringa in so many of my recipes and sometimes there are phases in my creative journey by which I just feel inspired by one ingredient, fruit or vegetable and end up making a dozen recipes with that very ingredient. Moringa powder is one of them, very versatile and distinct in flavor, the Powder can be used in a number of bakeries, breads and cookies. Dubbed the African Matcha, the properties in this powder are versatile, increasing overall health and the immune system. Enjoy this easy and quick Madeleines recipe with your afternoon tea.
