Recipe - French Madeleines

1 cup Selfrising flour
One half cup Sugar
8 tablespoon Butter
3 Eggs
1 pn Salt
One half cup Ground almonds
2 teaspoon Orange flower water
One fourth teaspoon Vanilla extract

Traditionally, Madeleines are baked in small shell shaped pans. If you do
not have them use individual muffin pan cups or brioche pans. Sift flour
and sugar into a large bowl. Melt (but do not burn) butter. Let cool. With
a wooden spoon mix eggs into flour and sugar. Gradually add cooled butter,
salt, ground almonds, orange flower water and vanilla. Refrigerate for 1
hour. Grease pans with butter. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Half fill
greased pans with cake batter. Bake 10 to 15 minutes or until golden. Cool
on rack.
