Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt until well blended. Beat the eggs and sugar with an electric mixer, if possible until the volume of the mixture has tripled and forms a ribbon when the beaters are lifted about five minutes or so. Sift a small amount of the flour mixture into the egg mixture.
Using a rubber spatula, fold it in to lighten it. Repeat until all the flour mixture is folded in. Do not overmix! The batter will deflate. Whisk together a small amount of the flour mixture and the melted butter.
Fold the cooled melted butter into the egg mixture in three additions. Butter the pans generously. Dust with flour and tap to remove any excess. Drop a teaspoonful of batter into the center of each mold, making sure the batter remains mounded in the center.
Bake on a center rack for minutes, until edges are golden-brown and centers spring back lightly when touched. Do not overbake! Gently remove the madeleines from the pans by tapping them. Let cool on a wire rack smooth sides down. Did you make this recipe? I have never tried this before. So, I will try this recipe and hope my family would love it. Or how about a jamocha coffee and chocolate flavored Madeleine? Oo-ooh…how about a banana pudding flavored one?
The possibilities are endless. Great suggestions! I was thinking almond and amaretto would be delicious as well. I love dark chocolate and orange jelly sticks too. Excellent recipe. I followed it to the letter and they were perfect.
Thank you! Just made these and they turned out great. Thanks for sharing. Will save some batter to bake fresh ones tomorrow morning. These are perfection! I prepared them this morning but then had to wait.
These were so delicious. Is the 4 hour wait time necessary? If so what does it do to the batter? The wait time is so that the flour can absorb the liquid butter and other flavors and bloom. It makes for a more homogenous batter and everything melds together. Also makes for a moist Madeleine. My first time making these and they were buttery, light, fluffy, everything I was looking for. I also dipped them in dark chocolate, and then drizzled white chocolate on top. I am oing to make grapefruit ones to go with raspberry, blueberry and lemon entremet!
I made your French madeleines recipe tonight. They were so light and flavorful. Planning to make more soon again Wish I could post a picture of them. Made these for the first time and they were fantastic! Dipped them in chocolate and hazelnuts for a sweet touch:.
I made these with my 10 year old granddaughter. We followed the recipe except we used orange zest instead of lemon. We dipped the tips into some melted chocolate and dusted with powdered sugar. Nice vanilla flavor with an undertone of orange. We will definitely do these again! They are one of his favorites and he loved them!
I like that I could make the batter the night before and bake them in the morning for breakfast. They were light and fluffy with a wonderful flavor. I made the batter yesterday and baked them off this morning. I had to adjust my baking time to 8 minutes. I got the bump! I absolutely love these, the brown butter just elevates them to the next level! Thanks for the great recipe! Would be visually stunning w a dab of green. I was just in Paris and made Madeleines at a cooking class!
I am so eager to make this recipe! Made these and love it!! Cooking the butter made it so tastes and delicious. Thank you. Followed the instructions and the result was perfect! Thank you for sharing your recipe, baked these babies, they were delicious. I am making the batter now to let rest over night…..
They are incredible! I am going to go the modern route next time and buy a Teflon plan! I meant to give them 5 stars. I just made these today and they came out great. I love your recipe.
I waited patiently for four hours and it was worth it. I will make them again Thank you. Is the confectioners sugar listed in the ingredients to be used for dusting or is that to be incorporated in the batter? I am not a baker. I also have never comment on a recipe but this one absolutely deserve big praise! I put the freshly baked plate it from of 4 guests, went to get 3 cups, came back to find the plate almost empty. Everyone loved it.
These cakes are so delicious right out of the oven. The instructions are actually very easy to follow. I am already thinking about making another batch. These little cakes are so addicting. If anyone is looking for a great Madeleine mold sheet, Bed, Bath, and Beyond has a mold sheet made by Wilton makers of Armetale.
Their metal making expertise is unsurpassed. My sheet will outlive me for sure and will probably be passed to my grandchildren. Their asking price — This is my 4th time making madeleines. Loved your recipe. Only thing I did differently is I buttered, dusted and then put pan in freezer. I have very old and heavy pans and had a sticking problem.
With previous recipes. Also I plan to do orange zest next with a wee dip in some good semi sweet chocolate. Thanks for the recipe. Gotta love that brown butter. Just made these again. Only change I made was I mixed about half a cup of batter to the brown butter sorta like tempering to make folding the butter into remaining batter easier.
I made these today and they were a hit. The brown butter and lemon zest are a must. I tweaked the recipe by adding Jamaican mixed spice for baking and homemade vanilla extract mixture. Is there a way to do these without a mold? So yummy. Has anyone used silicone pans? Is there a substitute for sugar i can use in these? Like honey or agave nectar or maple syrup or date syrup? These turned out amazing and were a hit in my house!
Add the flour mixture to the main preparation photo 3 , and combine with a whisk photo 4. Zest half of a lemon with a zester grater , add to the butter mixture and mix photo 6. Cover the sponge-like batter with a piece of plastic wrap in contact and refrigerate overnight, or even better, for 24 hours.
The plastic film must touch the surface of the batter and not cover the bowl. Butter the cavities of the metal madeleine mold, dust it with flour, and tap any excess; there is no need to grease a silicone mold. Then switch off the oven for 8 to 10 minutes. The madeleines will get that famous bump on top. Place cakes on the side, still in the mold photo 8 , so that they completely cool do not use a cooling rack to avoid its traces on the surface of madeleines.

There is etiquette, a French ritual to eating these golden little tea cakes. Warm madeleines are best enjoyed with a cup of tea. Take an Earl Gray tea, a black tea flavored with bergamot.
It will harmonize well with the lemon note of classic madeleines. To appreciate their taste and release their lemon flavor, madeleines have to be dipped in tea, the same way as Marcel Proust enjoyed little cakes. But, unfortunately, coffee isn't the same. For an exceptional taste , serve madeleines immediately straight from the oven. Store madeleines in an airtight container preferably in glass for up to 2 to 4 days. I prefer to cover these little cakes with a tea towel. Can you freeze madeleines?
Yes, you can freeze madeleines for up to six months, but they may lose their taste a bit. To thaw them, bring the cakes to room temperature for one to two hours. Please, try to avoid using a microwave. There is much debate over whether madeleines are cookies or cakes. Although many think they are teacake cookies or "sponge cake-like French madeleine cookies," they are actually mini cakes. But even in France, where the madeleines originated, many chefs still call them madeleine cookies.
Madeleines are a French type of petite gateau or sponge cake, usually shaped like an elongated scallop shell. As teatime cakes, they are an essential part of French culture. Ladyfingers are French biscuits too, but they originated in Italy and were inspired by the sponge finger recipe of Catherine de Medici's pastry chefs.
They are used to prepare delicious desserts such as Charlotte or Tiramisu. Refrigerate the madeleine batter covered in contact with plastic film or a pastry bag for up to 2 days. Don't freeze it. Keep madeleines in an airtight container, and they will stay fresh for up to 2 to 4 days.
No, the baked madeleines don't need to be refrigerated. Instead, you can store them at room temperature. Browse all the Cake Recipes. Try this simple Cake Pan Converter if you ever need to adjust your baking pan and re-calculate the amounts of ingredients to make your favorite dessert.

All posted pictures are mine. I just made these over the last two days as a baking project with a 2. They had fun squeezing the batter out of the pastry bag too I held, they squeezed. They do not take long to bake, so they saw them puff up in amazement! The best part is they thought they were super yummy! What a fun baking project you had with kids, Ginger! I am happy to hear that you all enjoyed making madeleiens! So sweet Thanks for letting me know.
Hi, thank you for the detailed explanation! I was very satisfied reading it because you also included the reason why it's needed! But I was wondering, what exactly is the reason that the recipe needs honey as an ingredient? Is it the replacement for milk? If it is, can I substitute it with any other ingredients? Hello Cassie, since I adapted the recipe from the French pastry school, it is hard to answer why honey is included as an ingredient.
I do not think that it replaces milk, though. I would replace it with maple syrup or golden syrup. I have never tested this way, but it should work. Please, let m know once you make madeleines. Happy baking! Hi Irina, how long did you whisk the egg and sugar? And when the batter finishes so, I don't need to cover the top of the bowl? Only the bottom? Hi Clarissa, Thanks for your interest in the recipe.
NO, you do not need to whisk the eggs with sugar until the mixture is whitish. Just whisk the mixture for 1 to 2 minutes with a hand whisk. And you need to cover the top of the bowl with plastic film, but the film has to touch the batter. It is called "to cover with plastic in contact. Hello, Firstly, thank you for the recipe and all the tips.
