Homemade Madeleines (and maybe some champagne) to help get you through the week!


Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 12
Ingredients

• 1/2 cup (2 oz./60 g) cake flour
• 1/2 tsp. baking powder
• 1 egg
• 1/4 cup (2 oz./60 g) granulated sugar
• 2 tsp. orange flower water
• 4 Tbs. (1/2 stick) (2 oz./60 g) unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for greasing

Directions: Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 400°F (200°C). Generously butter a 12-mold madeleine pan.

In a bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder. In another bowl, using an electric mixer on medium speed, beat together the egg, granulated sugar and orange flower water for 30 seconds. Increase the speed to high and beat until the mixture has quadrupled in bulk and is very thick, about 10 minutes. Using a rubber spatula, carefully fold the flour mixture and then the softened butter into the egg mixture. Spoon the batter into the prepared molds, filling each one about three-fourths full.

Bake until the madeleines are lightly browned around the edges and on the bottom, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove the madeleines from the oven and immediately turn them out onto a wire rack. Using a fine-mesh sieve or a sifter, dust them with confectioners’ sugar.
Serve warm. Makes 12 madeleines.

Enjoy!
