Number Of Ingredients 10

3 ounces unsalted butter, melted
1 cup cake flour
1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon herbes de Provence
4 large eggs
2 tablespoons sugar
1 cup finely grated Parmiginano- Reggiano
1/4 cup minced nicoise olives

Steps:

Heat oven to 375 degrees. Use a little of the butter to grease one or more mini-madeleine pans. Whisk together the flour, pepper, cream of tartar, baking powder and herbes de Provence, and set aside.
Using an electric mixer with a whisk attachment, beat the eggs with the sugar until the mixture is thick and light, about 4 minutes. Stir in the flour mixture on low speed or by hand and mix in the butter. Fold in the cheese and olives.
Pipe or spoon batter into prepared pan or pans, and bake about 8 minutes, until lightly browned. Remove from pan to a rack and repeat, as needed, to use remaining batter.
