Time 2h

Yield 12 to 15 little cakes

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 1/2 ounces sugar
3 3/4 ounces all-purpose flour, sifted
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of salt
Zest of 1 orange
2 large eggs, at room temperature
3 1/4 ounces unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
Butter and flour for molds

Steps:

  • Combine the sugar, flour, baking powder and salt in a medium mixing bowl, stirring with a wooden spoon to blend. Add the zest. Stir in the eggs, mixing just to combine. You do not want to incorporate too much air into the batter. Finally, stir in the butter.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic film and refrigerate for 1 hour, or until well chilled. The chilling is important, as it makes the batter easier to pipe and ensures a higher rise during baking. At this point, the batter may be stored, covered and refrigerated, for up to 4 days.
  • Butter and flour the madeleine molds.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Immediately transfer the batter to a pastry bag fitting with a #5 plain tip and pipe into the prepared molds. Bake the madeleines for about 7 minutes (about 11 minutes for larger cakes), or until the cakes spring back in the center when lightly touched.
