It’s common to find a few recycled jelly jars filled with egg whites in my refrigerator; left over from homemade ice cream or challah. I am always looking for recipes to put them to use without the the classic pairing of egg-whites to refined sugar (like a light angel cake, or crispy meringue). Of course there is the macaroon, but over do it and it gets boring.

A madeleine recipe in the February issue of Bon Appetit caught my eye. They shared a Lavender Honey Madeleine cookie recipe from the Hotel D’Europe in Avignon that called for egg whites. It turned out to be a very versatile recipe. I simplified the original, replaced the refined sugar, and added some orange zest to brighten up the flavor of these cake-like cookies. The original recipe also called for some all purpose flour in addition to the almond flour. I omitted the white flour for the version below, though it did work using either sprouted wheat flour or rice flour as a repalcement.

When using saved up egg whites in recipes the correct measurement for one egg white is 2 tablespoons. Egg whites can be stored in the refrigerator for 7-10 days. The Joy of Baking website also suggest freezing egg whites in ice cube trays for up to a month, though I have never tried that.

Maple Sugar Madeleines
I use a mini-madeleine pan for this version, a regular size version does not work for an all almond flour base. You can also make these as mini-muffins if you don’t have a mini-madeleine pan. If you would like to make them in a regular size madeleine pan, replace 6 tablespoons of the almond flour with all purpose, wheat, sprouted wheat/spelt, or rice flour.

8 tablespoons melted butter or coconut oil
4 large egg whites (equivalent to 8 tablespoons egg whites) at room temperature
3/4 cup almond flour
1/4 cup maple sugar
2 tablespoons orange zest (the zest of one medium orange)

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Grease a madeleine pan and dust with almond flour or rice flour.
3. Beat all ingredients together with an electric mixer.
4. Spoon 1 teaspoon batter onto each madeleine mold.
5.  Bake about 12-15 minutes until tester inserted into center of cookie comes out clean and sides have begun to brown.
6. Remove cookies from pan and cool on rack.

    I don’t have any maple sugar, I just realized, do you think I could use coconut sugar?

      The original recipe called for powdered sugar and thought that maple sugar would be the best substitute. I have not tried it yet with the coconut sugar, though it is one of the variations I want to try. Let me know how it comes out if you try it. And I’ll keep you posted if I get to it as well.

      Yes – though I’m not sure if you can find kosher for passover maple sugar – or if it needs to be certified kosher for passover (it also depends on what level of strictness you observe) but you can easily substitute for any granulated sweetener you have on Passover.
