I have made madeleine many many times, it is totally different from the ones bought from grocery store. Fresh from oven with crispy edge and super-soft inner, you will never buy madeleine from stores after your try it at home. It is perfect to serve with coffee or tea when it comes out of oven, so fresh, soft, and warm. Delicious!

Madeleine, little cake

Preparation Time: 30mins

Cooking Time: 13mins

ingredients

Cake flour: 80g
Unsalted butter: 85g
Sugar: 85g
Eggs: 2
Baking powder: 3g
Lemon juice: 1tsp(5ml)

Special tool: Madeleine pan

Note: The above ingredients can make 12-15 madeleines.

instructions

Pre-boil 2cups of water in the pot, cut butter into small pieces and place them in a small bowl.
Put the butter bowl into pre-boil water, keep heating for ~10mins until butter fully melted.

Squeeze 1tsp fresh lemon juice from lemon.
Combine eggs, sugar, and lemon juice. Whisk until throughly combined.
Prepare 80g cake flour and 3g baking powder in a container.
Sift the mixture of cake flour and baking powder into the egg mixture.

Using whisk and silicone spatula to mix the above ingredients.
Gently pour the melted butter into the batter. Whisk until fully mixed.
Place a zipper bag(6.5″ X 5.875″) into a medium size mug(see the picture below), pour the finished batter into the bag.

Prepare madeleine pan. Smear a thin layer of butter on the pan, sift a thin layer of all-purpose flour onto the pan. This step can make removing the madeleine easier after baking.
Cut a small opening in the corner of zipper bag, slowly squeeze the batter into the pan. If you fill it 100% full, you can get 12 madeleine cakes; if you fill it 80% full, you can get around 15 madeleine cakes.

Place the pan with batter into refrigerator, let it rest for 15mins.
Pre-heat the oven to 375°F. I normally start pre-heating the oven when I start refrigerating the batter, since it takes about 10-15mins for oven pre-heating.
Bake at 375°F for 13mins, gently scoop the madeleine from the pan with a spoon. You can see the form of madeleines hump during baking. The madeleines have crispy side, spongy and buttery interior. It is perfect to serve with coffee or tea.
