Dust with powdered sugar before serving. Remove the pans from the oven and immediately tap each pan against the counter to release the Madeleines. Place the Madeleines on a wire rack to cool. ![]() (This will result in the classic “humped or domed” appearance of the Madeleines.)īake the Madeleines for about 8 to 11 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the centers spring back when lightly touched. (Do not overbake these cookies or they will be dry.) (Make sure the pans are well greased or the Madeleines will stick and be hard to remove.)ĭrop a generous tablespoonful (can use an ice cream scoop) of the batter into the center of each prepared mold, leaving the batter mounded in the center. Refrigerate the pans until the butter hardens (about 10 minutes). Then dust the molds with flour, tapping out the excess flour. Using a pastry brush, generously grease the molds of two – 12 – 3 1/2 inch (8.5 cm) Madeleine pans (preferably non stick) with very soft or melted butter. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Cover and refrigerate the batter for at least an hour or two, preferably overnight (can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days). Then take about 1 cup (240 ml) of the batter and fold it into the warm melted butter. (This lightens the butter making it easier to fold into the batter.) Then, with a spatula, gently foldthe butter mixture completely into the egg batter. Beat in the vanilla extract and lemon zest (if using). Then sift about one-third of the flour mixture over the whipped eggs and gently fold in, using a rubber spatula or whisk.

They are just wonderful! We use a Madeleine Cookie pan from “Wilton” which we think was a pretty great investment, as we love the pan for use making small, tasty muffins as well. After one of our tribe took French in school, we started making these terrific cookies. ![]()
