Easy Madeleines with Belly Buttons
cookpad.japan @cookpad_jp
I made these "belly button shaped madeleines" by coincidence, so I uploaded the recipe. I tried baking them several times to adjust the sweetness and tenderness to my taste. You can reduce the sugar a little bit, but if you reduce it too much you'll end up with tough madeleines.
-When resting the batter and warming the baking tray beforehand, you'll have puffy madeleines with "belly buttons." However, if you rest the batter in the refrigerator, you'll get "shy" belly buttons. The madeleines didn't puff up that much either.
-Our electric oven seems to heat correctly if I set the temperature a bit lower. If you have a gas oven, you may need to preheat at 190 °C. If the madeleines are browning too fast, try lowering the heat while baking. Recipe by Raby

- 1
Break the eggs into a bowl and beat with a whisk. Add the honey, milk, sugar, and vanilla oil and mix well.
- 2
Sift in the cake flour and baking powder into the bowl from Step 1, and mix in a circular motion using a whisk. The flour may fly out in the beginning, so be careful and mix slowly.
- 3
Put the butter in a heatproof container and melt it in the microwave. Put the melted butter into the bowl from Step 2, and mix well with a whisk. Pour the batter into cupcake molds, cover with plastic wrap and leave to rest at *room temperature* for 20 minutes.
- 4
While the batter is resting, wash the dirty dishes. Also, preheat the oven to 210°C with the baking sheet inside.
- 5
After 20 minutes, take the baking sheet out of the oven (it's hot so be careful), and quickly put on the batter-filled cups. Put the sheet back in the oven and bake for 15 minutes. When the madeleines are nicely browned, and a skewer pierced into one comes out clean, they're done.
- 6
The flavor of the madeleines won't have settled yet when they are fresh out of the oven, so be sure to let them rest for half a day or more before enjoying them. As time passes, they become moist, and take on a nice sheen on the surface.
- 7
Tip: if you put the batter in a cup with a spout, it's easier to pour into the cups.
- 8
The madeleine on the left has a "belly button." The one on the right was baked without resting.
- 9
The size and shape of the 'belly button' will vary depending on the type of cup you bake the batter in - this is quite fun. Enjoy different kinds of "belly buttons" using different types of cups, as described below.
- 10
This is a 3 cm diameter mini cup that spreads out vertically. It's small but surprisingly deep.
- 11
Using the cups shown in Step 10: The "belly buttons" are more like pot-bellies, but they're cute anyway, so I like them a lot.
- 12
This are foil cups with 7.5 cm diameter bottoms. This is a real madeleine cup. It's flat.
- 13
Using the foil cups shown in Step 12: If you bake the madeleines in flat, shallow cups, the "belly button" bump in the middle will be not be as pronounced.
- 14
Here I used small morning glory flower-shaped cups, and added 2 tablespoons of cocoa to the batter.

Super Easy Madeleines
Madeleines cost 100-200 yen each. But if you make them at home, not only are they additive-free, but they're also cheap. I wanted to eat a lot, because I'm a glutton! Buy cute wrapping packaging at 100 yen (dollar) stores, wrap the the madeleine to give as gifts or sell at bake sales!-Don't overmix the batter!-Because it's possible to scorch the sugar (if the egg and sugar lump together), make sure to beat the eggs before mixing in. Also, don't leave the ingredients after you've combined them. Make sure mix right away.-[Matcha madeleines] Use matcha (10 grams, 5% of the cake flour).-[Cocoa madeleines] Add 2 tablespoons (12 grams) of cocoa powder (replacing a portion of the cake flour) and bake the madeleine as usual.-[Chocolate madeleines] Use 110 grams of butter and 90 grams of chocolate and bake the madeleines as usual (melt the butter in a double boiler, and melt the chocolate shavings).

Easy Madeleines with 10 minutes Prep
I'm so busy with my kids that I don't have time for baking desserts! After looking at a lot of different recipes, I put this one together for a quick and easy dessert that tastes like the madeleines my mother used to make. Every time I make these, my friends with children always ask for the recipe so I posted it here for the first time. Please try making the patterned madeleines intoo!I usually use margarine. It's cheap and I always have it stocked in the fridge so I can make madeleines whenever. Margarine also gives a lighter taste than butter. Using butter gives the madeleines a strong taste. You can store these in the freezer. Just let them naturally defrost when you want to eat them. Recipe by Sachimura

Madeleines
When I read Proust for the first time, in my teenage years, I fell in love with the story behind his madeleines. In "Du côté de chez Swann", while drinking tea and eating a madeleine, the smell brings him back to his younger years at his aunt's home. So, my mother gave me a madeleine recipe, and I started baking them. It's been around 15 years that I make madeleines, and it became my favorite dessert, as well as my specialty.

I wondered what madeleines would look like with a pattern on them so gave it a try. I always have fun seeing people's reactions to it!As long as it's not too complicated, I think you can draw any design.

Walnut and Chocolate Madeleines

If the recipe amount of the walnuts and chocolate are both 50 g, I wanted to make the recipe amount of everything except the baking powder, milk, and rum 50 g as well, but I ended with this recipe since it is too sweet with 50 g of granulated sugar and chocolate bar. It might be ok to have 50 g of granulated sugar, depending on your preference.Please handle with care when you take the madeleines out of the mold, since they are very moist.
