Tips:
- Use unsalted butter and bring it to room temperature before creaming it with the sugar. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter and fluffier madeleine.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing will develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough madeleine.
- Make sure the madeleine pan is well-greased before baking. This will help to prevent the madeleines from sticking to the pan.
- Bake the madeleines at a high temperature for a short period of time. This will help to create a crispy exterior and a tender interior.
- Dust the madeleines with powdered sugar before serving. This will add a touch of sweetness and elegance.
