Cooking Instructions

30 mins
  1. 1

    Sift in the flour and then fold it in gently until it's just combined. Try to keep as much volume as you can.

  2. 2

    Whisk together the sugar and eggs until it becomes pale in colour and more than doubled in volume. The mixture will go thicker and the whisk must leave a trail. You can use a handheld whisk or a kitchenaid or similar machine.

  3. 3

    Pour in the butter and the flavourings and mix gently until just combined.

  4. 4

    Brush the madeleine mould with a little leftover melted butter or use the cooking spray. Put a spoonful of mixture in each mould, take care not to overfill them, the mixture should lie in the middle of the mould.

  5. 5

    Now you have to rest the mixture. It can rest for 10 minutes up to 24 hours. Heat the oven to 220?C.

  6. 6

    Bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown around the edges. Keep an eye on them! Take them out to cool on a wire rack.

  7. 7

    Check if the mould needs extra butter/cooking spray and repeat until you are out of mixture. This recipe makes 25-30 madeleines (depending on the size of your mould).
