Madeleines, the iconic shell-shaped French cakes, are beloved for their delicate, buttery texture and subtle citrus aroma. This recipe yields light, moist treats with a bright orange twist.
Ingredients:
- 100g all-purpose flour
- 100g powdered sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 100g unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- Zest of 1 orange
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Steps:
1. Prep: Whisk flour and powdered sugar in a bowl. In another bowl, beat eggs, then add orange zest, vanilla, and salt. Gradually mix in the dry ingredients until smooth.
2. Rest: Chill the batter for at least 1 hour (or overnight for deeper flavor). This step is key for a tender crumb.
3. Bake: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush a madeleine pan with butter, dust with flour, and tap out excess. Fill each cavity ¾ full with batter.
4. Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are golden and centers spring back when touched. Cool in the pan for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Tips: For a glossy finish, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with an orange glaze (icing sugar + orange juice). Serve warm with tea or coffee for the perfect French treat. Enjoy!
