Madeleines

Overview

Madeleine cake, a classic French dessert, is known as the sexiest little cake because of its round, plump shape and bulging belly.

Prepare all the ingredients
Grate the peel of half a lemon and add it to the caster sugar
Mix evenly and let it sit for 1 hour until the fragrance comes out.
Pour the caster sugar and lemon zest mixture into the egg bowl
Mix well with a hand mixer
Add the mixed and sifted low-gluten flour and baking powder, and mix evenly with a hand whisk
Add a little vanilla extract and stir with a spatula until completely mixed and the mixture becomes a thick paste
After heating the butter and melting it, pour it into the mixture
Stir evenly again with a spatula until the mixture becomes a smooth paste, then place it in the refrigerator for 1 hour
Remove batter from refrigerator. By this time the batter has solidified. Leave it at room temperature for a while. When the batter returns to a flowable state, put the batter into a piping bag
Pour into the madeleine mold, about 90% full
Put the mold into the preheated oven, set the upper and lower heat to 185 degrees, and bake for 10 minutes. My mold is super small, so it takes less time. In the picture, when baking for 6 or 7 minutes, a high bulge has appeared on the back of the madeleine
The baked madeleines are easy to pour out. I made 30 pieces in total
