Yield Makes 24

Number Of Ingredients 7

9 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled to room temperature, plus more for molds
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3 large eggs
3/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons sugar
5 tablespoons milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Butter and flour madeleine molds. Tap out excess. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and cinnamon; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat eggs and sugar until creamy. Add flour mixture and milk; mix until smooth. Add butter, and beat until creamy. Cover with plastic wrap; chill for 20 minutes.
  • Transfer mixture to a medium pastry bag fitted with a coupler. Pipe mixture into prepared molds. (Alternatively you can use 2-inch paper baking cases.) Transfer to oven, and bake until golden brown, about 9 minutes. Remove from molds immediately, and cool on a wire rack.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your madeleines. Look for fresh butter, eggs, and flour.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter, making your madeleines light and airy.
  • Add the eggs one at a time: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Fold in the flour and baking powder gently: Overmixing will toughen the batter.
  • Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes before baking: This will allow the flour to absorb the liquid and the flavors to meld.
  • Bake the madeleines in a preheated oven: This will help to ensure that they rise evenly.
  • Do not overbake the madeleines: They should be golden brown on the outside and slightly soft on the inside.
  • Serve the madeleines warm or at room temperature: They are best enjoyed fresh.

Conclusion:

Cinnamon madeleines are a delicious and classic French pastry that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized with different flavors and fillings.
