Recipe, Equipment & Ingredients
"Recipe origin unknown, I have had this for a long time." - Sam
Ingredients
4 oz. Butter (1 Stick), Unsalted
2/3 Cup Sugar
1 Cup All-Purpose Flour
2 Large Eggs
1 Tsp Vanilla
Pinch of Salt
1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
1 Tbsp Lemon Zest
Equipment
Small Saucepan
Small Bowl
2 Medium Sized Mixing Bowls
Measuring Cups & Spoons
Whisk
Spatula
2 Madeleine Pans
Directions
Melt butter in a small saucepan. Once melted, set aside to cool
In a medium bowl, whisk together one cup of flour and the sugar, set aside
In a separate bowl, whisk the two eggs, vanilla, salt, lemon juice and lemon zest until the eggs are frothy
Combine the wet and dry ingredients and using a spatula, stir until just combined
Add the melted butter and continue to stir
Cover the bowl with a plate or plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to rest at least one hour, up to overnight
You can either butter and flour the pans, spray and flour or use baking spray with flour in it already
Place the pans in the freezer for at least an hour
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Remove the batter from the refrigerator and one pan from the freezer
Fill each well in the pan with 1 tablespoon of the batter
Repeat process with second pan
Place both pans on a baking sheet for easy handling and then into the oven
Check after 8 minutes and rotate pans
Check again 5 minutes later
The Madeleines should be browning around the edges and puffed up a little in the middle
Using your forefinger, press lightly on the center; when done, it should spring back at your touch
Remove Madeleines from pan, allow them to cool completely
