Orange-Rosemary Cornbread Madeleines

Ingredients

• 2 cups self-rising white cornmeal mix
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons orange zest
• 1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh rosemary
• 2 cups buttermilk
• 1/2 cup butter, melted
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 400°. Whisk together cornmeal mix, flour, 1/4 cup sugar, orange zest, and rosemary in a large bowl. Add buttermilk, melted butter, and eggs. Whisk together just until blended. Spoon batter into lightly greased shiny madeleine pans, filling three-fourths full. Bake, in batches, 16 to 18 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pans immediately. Serve hot, or cool completely on wire racks (about 20 minutes), and freeze in zip-top plastic freezer bags up to 1 month. To serve, arrange desired amount of madeleines on a baking sheet, and bake at 350° for 5 to 6 minutes or until thoroughly heated.
