Butterscotch Madeleines and a New Hand Mixer
How often do you replace kitchen appliances?? In the Eugenio household, we tend to buy new gadgets but use the old ones until they stop working. A great example is our hand mixer. My mum bought our hand mixer back in 1988. It was one of the first things she bought when we moved into our house.
Thanks to Kitchenware Direct, I had an opportunity to review one of their new products. I chose the Red Kitchenaid Hand Mixer. It was time for the old mixer to retire and for the new one to make it’s debut. What better way than with these simple Butterscotch Madeleines from Bill Granger’s book Bill’s Basics.
Butterscotch Madeleines
Ingredients
100 grams unsalted butter
2 tablespoons golden syrup
2 eggs
60 grams caster sugar
75 grams plain flour sifted
1 teaspoon baking powder
pinch of salt
icing sugar for dusting
Method
1. Pre-heat the over to 170C. Grease a madeleine tray and dust with flour, shaking of the excess.
2. Melt the butter in a small pan. Remove from the heat, stir in the syrup and leave to cool.
3. Using a hand mixer, whisk the eggs, sugar and a pinch of salt, until pale and fluffy. Add the flour, baking powder and syrup mixture. Fold everything together until well combined.
4. Spoon the mixture into the madeleine tray and bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Cool on a wire rack and dust with icing sugar before serving.

The Kitchenaid Mixer is a delight to use. It has 7 speeds and the attachments are extremely easy to clean. Although stand mixers are all the rage, this hand mixer is ideal for people who don't have the room for a massive stand mixer. If you are looking for an affordable and attractive looking hand mixer, then the Artisan mixer is perfect.

Oooooo pretty! Gotta love red kitchen appliances. I saw this hand mixer the other day and went crazy over it; bf thought I was weird.. lol
I LOVE your mini cake stand, it's so cute! I better start making madeleines, I've bought 2 trays at least 2 years ago and haven't used still!
Little bit loving the photography Eugo - you're making me want to get one and as you know, I don't even bake! Amazing - can you make me some? Lara xx
OH hello sexy red hand mixer. I'm such a sucker for red appliances! lol
You have the BEST kitchen tools and props! This recipe looks simple and delicious, too.
SHINY! love the red! and your madeleines look perfect
Do you mean that hand mixer is actually old but new? Amazing! And the Madeleines look amazing too!

The mixer is so cool. So red and shiny :). The madelines look great.
butterscotch madeleines sounds so amazing! I'm so excited about this recipe I'm baking it first thing in the morning, I can't wait to enjoy these!
We're the same! Terrific at buying new things but terrible at letting go of the old until they're actually unusable anymore. We had a microwave for a while that was older than I was :)
Love the madelines (and that stand! Whoosh!)
A belated happy New Year to you, Kath! Love the shiny, red mixer but - hey - I like most anything shiny and red haha.
Your madeleines are so dainty and beautiful, and so is your website might I add :)
Keep up the good work!
The madeleines look beautiful - I love your little cake stand and dome. The butterscotch flavour sounds gorgeous :)
They look lovely
Those madeleines look wonderful. :) I love them whenever I want something buttery and sweet.
My friend finds the recipe a little plain though, so she adds a small mound of icing. I think the recipe is light and yummy. :p Would love to make those in Christmas too, wherein you dip the madeleines in melted white chocolate and add colourful sprinkles.
Btw, love the colour of the Kitchenaid mixer. It's gorgeous! In our family, we take really good care of the old kitchen tools, but I'm also constantly on the look out for other equipments that will be of big help in the kitchen. :D
