Vanilla madeleines

Vanilla madeleines are delicate, sponge-like French pastries with a unique shell shape that make them perfect for tea time or a light dessert. This recipe is simple to follow and results in delicious, buttery vanilla treats that are sure to impress your friends and family.

Ingredients:

2 eggs
100g
1/3 cup sugar
63g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4g
1 dash salt
1g
1/2 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
60g
1 tsp baking powder
5g
1/3 cup sugar
72g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Your Equipment:
* Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
* Grease and flour a madeleine pan, or use a non-stick madeleine mold.
2. Make the Batter:
* In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs and the first 1/3 cup of sugar (63g).
* Beat the mixture with an electric mixer on high speed until thick and pale, which should take about 5 minutes.
* Add the vanilla extract and a dash of salt. Beat briefly to combine.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients:
* In another bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder.
4. Fold in Dry Ingredients:
* Gently fold the sifted flour mixture into the egg mixture, being careful not to deflate the batter.
* Gradually fold in the additional 1/3 cup of sugar (72g) to add sweetness and slight texture.

5. Fill the Molds:
* Spoon the batter into the prepared madeleine molds, filling each mold about three-quarters full.
* Tap the mold lightly on the counter to settle the batter.
6. Bake:
* Place the filled madeleine pan in the preheated oven.
* Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers spring back when lightly touched.
7. Cool and Serve:
* Remove the baked madeleines from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for a few minutes.
* Gently tap the pan to release the madeleines and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
* Optional: Dust with powdered sugar before serving for a classic touch.
8. Enjoy:
* Serve your vanilla madeleines with a cup of tea or coffee.

Tips:

- 1: For best results, make sure all your ingredients are at room temperature before you start baking.

- 2: Chill the batter in the refrigerator for at least an hour before baking to help achieve the classic madeleine hump.

- 3: Use a pastry brush to evenly butter and flour the madeleine mold to ensure the madeleines release easily after baking.

- 4: Do not overmix the batter as this can result in tough madeleines.

Vanilla madeleines are a classic and elegant treat that are surprisingly easy to make. With their light, airy texture and rich vanilla flavor, they are perfect for any occasion. Enjoy them fresh with a cup of tea or coffee, or even dusted with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness.
