Madeleine

🛒Ingredients (Grocery List)

  • 4 tbsp (1/2 stick) unsalted Butter, softened, plus melted Butter for brushing

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose Flour, plus more for dusting

  • 1 large Egg

  • 5 tbsp Sugar

  • 1 tbsp Vanilla Sugar

  • Pinch of Salt

  • 1/4 tsp Baking Powder

🍴Serves: 12 Madeleines

⏰Prep Time: 10 min

⏱️Cook Time: 12 min


🥣Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Brush a Madeleine pan with melted Butter and dust with Flour, tapping out the excess.

2. In a bowl, using an electric mixer, beat the Egg with the Sugar, Vanilla Sugar and Salt until thick and light. Using a wooden spoon, beat in the Flour and Baking powder, then the softened Butter.

3. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of batter into each mold. Transfer the pan to the oven and bake until golden around the edges and a toothpick inserted into the center of a Madeleine comes out clean, 10 to 12 minutes. Turn out the Madeleines on a cake rack to cool.


💡Tips

  • The Madeleines can also be flavored with finely grated lemon zest or orange flower water.

  • These little Madeleines can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.

  • Do not beat the batter with a whisk or the Madeleines will be too crumbly.

  • Use a brush when buttering the Madeleines so every crevice is coated.
