• portions: 20 servings

Ingrédients

1 Tablespoon unsalted butter

1 ½ teaspoons all-purpose flour

10 Tablespoons unsalted butter (cut into pieces)

2 large eggs (room temperature)

½ cup granulated sugar

3 Tablespoons light brown sugar (firmly packed)

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

⅛ teaspoon salt

1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons lemon or orange zest (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375F (190C) and whisk together 1 Tablespoon melted butter and 1 ½ teaspoons flour. Use a pastry brush to lightly but thoroughly grease every cavity of your madeleine pan. Set aside.

In a small heatproof bowl, melt remaining 10 Tablespoons of butter. Set aside to cool.

In a large bowl, combine eggs, sugars, vanilla extract, and salt. Whisk vigorously until thoroughly combined (about 30 seconds).

Sift flour into the egg mixture, about ⅓ of the flour at a time, gently stirring into egg mixture after each addition.

Drizzle cooled melted butter around the edge of the batter and add zest, if using. Gently fold into batter using a spatula until ingredients are thoroughly combined (but do not over-mix).

Drop batter by heaping Tablespoon into prepared pan.

Transfer to center rack of 375F (190C) preheated oven and bake for 9 minutes or madeleines are light golden brown and spring back when lightly touched. Remove to a cooling rack to cool immediately.

If your madeleine pan did not hold all of the batter, allow the pan to cool before re-brushing with butter/flour mixture and refilling with batter and baking your next batch.

If desired, sprinkle madeleines with additional powdered sugar or dip in melted chocolate before serving.
