Ingrédients
  

Madeleine Batter

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp lemon zest optional
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar until pale and slightly thick.
  • Add the vanilla extract and lemon zest, whisking to combine.
  • Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture until just combined.
  • Stir in the melted butter and heavy cream, mixing until smooth.
  • Cover the batter and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight for best results).
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a madeleine pan.
  • Fill each madeleine mold about 3/4 full with batter.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 1-2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  • Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm.

Notes

For the signature madeleine hump, ensure the batter is well chilled before baking. Cold batter hitting a hot oven creates the classic rise.
