Enjoy your delicious, homemade coconut and sesame madeleines with a chocolate drizzle. They are best served fresh, but you can store them in an airtight container for a few days. These madeleines are sure to impress with their unique flavors and elegant appearance. Happy baking!
Bake the madeleines in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes. They should be golden around the edges and spring back when lightly pressed.
Madeleines are done baking when the edges are golden brown and they spring back to touch. You can also check for a slight golden color on top and a firm texture.
Use a standard madeleine pan, which typically has 12 molds. This recipe should fill the molds about three-quarters full without overflowing.
You can substitute coconut flour with almond flour if you need a nut-based option. However, be careful as coconut flour absorbs more moisture; you may need to adjust the wet ingredients slightly.
Store any leftover madeleines in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze them in a freezer-safe bag for up to one month.
- Ensure your ingredients, especially the eggs and butter, are at room temperature before starting to mix. This helps in achieving a smoother batter.
- Be gentle when folding in the dry ingredients to avoid deflating the batter, resulting in lighter madeleines.
- Chill the batter in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before baking. This helps in achieving the classic madeleine hump.
- Use a piping bag to fill the madeleine molds for a cleaner and more even distribution of the batter.
- Do not overbake. Madeleines are done when they are golden around the edges and spring back when touched.
