Time 30m

Yield 3 dozen cakes

Number Of Ingredients 7

13 ounces flour, divided
6 3/4 ounces butter, divided
8 ounces powdered sugar
4 eggs
2 ounces whole milk
1/2 ounce baking powder
zest from 1 lemon

Steps:

  • Melt 1 oz of butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Coat the madeleine pan molds with a thin layer of butter. Place in the refrigerator for a few minutes to allow the butter to set. Repeat with another layer of butter and then coat the molds with 1 oz of flour. Set aside.
  • Melt the rest of the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir continuously until butter begins to brown slightly. Set aside.
  • Sift the rest of the flour and the baking powder on to a sheet of parchment paper. Sift once more and set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the sugar and the lemon zest. Add the eggs and stir well. Using a whisk, beat the sugar and egg mixture until mixture is pale in color and the whisk, when lifted from the bowl, creates ribbons of liquid.
  • Pour in the milk and stir to combine. Add the flour and carefully fold it in using a rubber spatula.
  • Add 2 tablespoons of the batter mixture to the melted butter in the saucepan and stir until mixture is well combined. Fold this mixture back into the batter.
  • Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator for a minimum of 1 hour.
  • When ready to cook, at 20 minutes prior to making the madeleines, preheat the oven to 465 degrees F.
  • Transfer the batter to a pastry bag with a large plain tip. Fill the molds in a teardrop shape half full. Transfer the molds to the oven and bake for 6 minutes.
  • Lower the oven temperature to 390 degrees F and finish baking for 3-4 minutes. At this point, they should be golden brown and puffy/bulging in the center.
  • Remove from oven and unmold them onto a wire rack. Serve warm or cool completely for storage.

Tips:

  • Use the freshest ingredients possible. This will result in the best flavor and texture for your madeleines.
  • Make sure your butter is at room temperature. This will help it cream together with the sugar more easily and result in a lighter, fluffier madeleine.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing will result in a tough, dense madeleine.
  • Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will allow the flavors to develop and the batter to thicken slightly.
  • Bake the madeleines in a preheated oven. This will help them rise evenly and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Do not overbake the madeleines. Overbaking will result in a dry, crumbly madeleine.
  • Let the madeleines cool slightly before removing them from the pan. This will help prevent them from breaking.
  • Serve the madeleines warm or at room temperature. They are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, but they can also be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Madeleines are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also a popular choice for parties and other special occasions. With a little practice, you can easily make delicious madeleines at home. Just remember to use fresh ingredients, follow the recipe carefully, and don't overmix the batter.
