Earl Grey Lime Rolls Recipes

Steps:

• For the syrup: In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water over medium heat. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer until the sugar has dissolved, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and allow the syrup to cool, about 20 minutes.
• For the tea: In a medium saucepan, bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the tea bags and lemon slices. Let the mixture cool to room temperature, about 1 hour. Remove the tea bags and discard.
• Pour the syrup and tea mixture into an ice-filled pitcher. Pour into glasses and add a splash of sparkling water. Garnish with lemon slices and serve.

Steps:

• Place tea in boiling water, and steep for 15 minutes.
• Strain and cool to lukewarm.
• Place yeast and sugar in a large bowl and stir tea into them.
• When yeast has dissolved, stir in butter, salt, lime rind and enough of the flour to form a dough that is hard to stir.
• Turn out onto lightly floured surface and knead 5 to 8 minutes, adding only as much flour as needed to produce a dough that is smooth, elastic and just past the point of being sticky.
• Put in a large oiled bowl, and cover with plastic wrap.
• Allow to rise in a warm place until doubled in volume (about 1 hour).
• Punch down, and divide into 30 small or 20 large dinner rolls.
• Place 2" apart on greased baking sheets, cover with kitchen towels, and let rise until doubled in volume (about 30 minutes).
• Pre-heat oven to 375F (400 at 6000').
• Bake rolls in the center of the oven for 13-15 minutes.
• Brush hot rolls with butter.
• Remove from baking sheets and serve immediately, or place on rack to cool (serve warm for best flavor).

Steps:

• Pour boiling water over tea bags in a jar or pitcher, and allow to steep for 15 minutes.
• Remove tea bags, add sugar, and stir in lime juice. Adjust the sweetness to suit your taste and cool mixture to room temperature.
• Drop a lime slice into each ice pop mold. Pour in mixture, leaving about 1/4 inch space at the top. Place the sticks or tops in and freeze until solid, 3 to 4 hours.
• Run some warm water over the molds to help loosen the ice pops.

Steps:

• Sift together the flour and baking powder. Put the honey in a medium heatproof bowl, and place a strainer over the bowl.
• Bring the butter to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. As the butter cooks, gently swirl the pan. The butter will foam, then bubble, then turn golden. In 5 to 7 minutes, when the butter browns (it will be the color of hazelnuts, and have that aroma as well), pour it through the strainer onto the honey. Some dark bits will slip through the strainer, and that's fine! Stir to blend.
• In a large bowl, whisk the sugar, zest, tea, eggs and egg white, and milk until combined; whisk 1 or 2 minutes more after the ingredients are blended. Add the flour mixture in three to four additions, whisking the ingredients together gently. You'll have a thick batter that will fall back on itself in a ribbon. Switch to a spatula, and gradually stir in the warm butter-honey mixture. The batter will have a beautiful sheen. Press a piece of plastic wrap against the surface, and refrigerate the batter for at least 8 hours or up to 2 days.
• When you're ready to bake, center a rack in the oven, and heat it to 425 degrees.
• Butter and flour a regular-size madeleine pan (or coat it with nonstick baking spray); do this even if the pan is nonstick. Use a slightly rounded tablespoon of batter to fill each shell. Don't worry about leveling the batter, as it will even out in the oven. Cover, and refrigerate any remaining batter.
• Bake the madeleines until the cakes are golden and the bumps spring back when gently prodded, 11 to 13 minutes. Unmold immediately by rapping the pan against the counter. Serve now ... or don't. The madeleines stale quickly, but that just makes them better for dunking. If you're baking more madeleines, be certain to cool the pan between batches.
