Madeleine Batter Ingredients- 60g cake flour
- 70g unsalted butter
- 10g cocoa powder
- 50g sugar
- 1 large egg (room temperature)
- 20g milk (room temperature)
- 2g baking powder
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
In a bowl, combine the 70g of unsalted butter (at room temperature) and 50g of sugar. Place the bowl over a double boiler (a bowl set over simmering water, around 60-70°C) and stir until the butter is completely melted. Remove from the double boiler once melted.
Step 2
Prepare 1 large egg and 20g of milk, both at room temperature. Gradually add the egg to the melted butter and sugar mixture, whisking gently with a balloon whisk after each addition. Add the milk and mix well.
Step 3
Sift together 60g of cake flour, 10g of cocoa powder, and 2g of baking powder into a separate bowl. Add the sifted dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Using a spatula, gently fold until just combined and no dry streaks remain. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the madeleines tough.
Step 4
Lightly grease the madeleine mold with melted butter or oil. Fill each mold about 80% full with the batter. Overfilling can cause the madeleines to overflow while baking.
Step 5
Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for approximately 12 minutes. To check for doneness, insert a skewer into the center; it should come out clean. Baking time may vary depending on your oven.
Step 6
Immediately after removing from the oven, carefully unmold the madeleines onto a wire rack and let them cool completely. Removing them while warm helps prevent them from breaking.
Step 7
While the madeleines are cooling, prepare the chocolate coating. Place 50g of your chosen chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Melt it gently over a double boiler (around 50-60°C) or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely smooth. Stirring occasionally helps prevent scorching.
Step 8
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the melted chocolate into the bottom of each madeleine mold. This creates a neat chocolate coating at the base.
Step 9
Gently press the bottom of a completely cooled madeleine into the melted chocolate in the mold, ensuring an even coating. Place the chocolate-coated madeleines in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to set the chocolate.
Step 10
Enjoy your deliciously chocolate-coated madeleines! They are the perfect homemade snack, especially with a glass of milk. ^0^
