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.

Madeleines

I used to dislike madeleines (I'm not a fan with fluffy and dry baked desserts), but then I found a shop that sold moist and dense madeleines. Ever since then I've loved them. This recipe aims at recreating that store's taste. This is a recipe that I love and treasure.Mix thoroughly so that it becomes smooth and doesn't form lumps. The baking time varies depending on the mold and the oven, so adjust accordingly. I changed the type of mold and oven that I used so I've greatly adjusted the temperature. Recipe by Yukiline

wasn't disappointed with these will definatley be making them again :cookie

It's an easy and simple butter cake that is great for picnics.- They are actually tastier after sitting in a plastic bag overnight than right after they are baked.- You can add cocoa powder to make a chocolate version.- If you want to make an Earl Grey tea version, omit the vanilla extract and add 1 teaspoon of ground Earl Grey tea leaves.

I wanted to replicate the delicious, moist "Honey Madeleines" sold in my go-to bakery, but I'm still far away from achieving their standard... still, these are moist and taste good.The sweetness of the honey varies by brand, so adjust the quantity as necessary.Don't fill the madeleine cups more than 2/3rds full, or they will overflow in the oven! Recipe by Chi-zusan

This is a secret recipe taught to me by my mom!Please whip well using a whisk (the thickness of the batter should be that it forms thick ribbons!). Do not fill the cup too much since it will pour over while baking. For 8 x 5 cm [3.1 x 2.0 in] diameter cups. Recipe by Campanella

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).

I had leftover oranges, which were given to me as a gift, and I wanted to make a snack with it.If the temperature of the melted butter is too low when you add it into the batter, it might harden and become difficult to mix.

This is my mother's easy madeleine recipe.Since you only need a few tools, it's not so difficult to make. If you knead the batter too much at the end, it becomes sticky, so be careful. Work gently.

Madeleine is a really easy and simple cake to make. But it taste really amazing. I usually make it when I want some snack for outgoing but don't have much time.I always forget to buy a madeleine mold so I make mine with mini tart mold.

I like to use strong bread flour for baking, so I used it for making madeleines, too. By using almond flour and cultured butter, I succeeded in making rich and dense madeleines.Be patient. This is key to this recipe. Making the batter it is easy; you just mix the ingredients. By adding strong bread flour, you can make them very smooth, moist, and spongy. Cultured butter adds good flavour, too. This recipe goes easy on the sugar, so add more if you like. For 10 x 6 cm [3.9 x 2.4 in] moulds. Recipe by Chizuri-nu

I'd wanted to buy a heart-shaped mould for ages, and at last I bought it! I didn't know how much of each ingredient I would need, so I tried baking madeleines with 1 egg. They were small, so I ended up with a lot.If you use normal shell moulds, you'll get around 8 cakes. I didn't coat the mould with flour because I was using a silicon one, but if necessary, add flour after coating it with butter. If you don't have black tea powder, blend some tea leaves instead. The baking time in the recipe is for 12 mini heart-shaped cakes. If you are using a shell mould, bake for 15 minutes. For 18 mini heart cookies. Recipe by Yossy

I decided to make madeleines with a chocolate bar. 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. I used 6 shell molds, and 5 muffin molds (filled about 1 cm high). Recipe by caramel-cookie

I improved my previous madeleine recipe by adding the winter flavor "apple" and increasing the amount.For those who like the crispy crunch of apples, reduce the microwave time at Step 1. Those who like their madeleines to have a strong flavor should add more butter, and those who want to make it healthier should skip the butter and heavy cream and use margarine instead.The baking time and temperature may varies on your oven, so keep an eye on the madeleines as they bake.

I created this recipe for a seminar for preschooler mothers.If eggs are cold, they will not beat well, so leave at room temperature before use. If you don't beat the eggs enough, the cakes will not rise. On the other hand, if you over-beat the eggs, the cakes will shrink!Also, be careful not to knead the batter when you combine with flour as the madeleines will become too dense.Please adjust the baking time and oven temperature depending on your own oven.

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

How you make these will change based on the size of the egg, so if everything is in proportion to the egg, you can make a delicious treat without fail. Kitchen scales are rather convenient!You can reduce the sugar and butter by about 5~10 g if you like. Recipe by mini
