Categories     dessert

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
Grated rind of one lemon
4 ounces (one stick) butter, melted
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 cups all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375. Beat sugar and eggs together until thoroughly blended. Add lemon rind and melted butter. Mix to blend. Sift together dry ingredients. Add all at once to egg mixture. Stir just to blend. Allow mix to sit at room temperature for approximately 10 minutes. While mix is resting, generously butter Madeleine molds. Spoon mix into molds, filling approximately 3/4 full. Bake approximately 15 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Turn over immediately onto cooling screen. Wipe out each mold cavity, rebutter and fill again until desired number or all mix is used. Store in airtight container until ready to use.;

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients. This will help the batter to emulsify and create a smooth, even texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough, dense madeleine.
  • Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will allow the flavors to meld and the batter to thicken slightly.
  • Preheat the oven to the correct temperature before baking. A properly preheated oven will help the madeleines to rise evenly and develop a golden brown crust.
  • Use a nonstick madeleine pan. This will prevent the madeleines from sticking and will make them easy to remove from the pan.
  • Bake the madeleines until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can dry out the madeleines.
  • Let the madeleines cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This will help them to keep their shape.

Conclusion:

Madeleines are a classic French pastry that are perfect for any occasion. They are simple to make and can be customized with a variety of flavors and toppings. With a little practice, you can easily master the art of making madeleines at home.
