Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup (60ml) heavy cream
- Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the pan by greasing a madeline mold with butter or nonstick spray.
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until pale and fluffy (about 3 minutes).
- Stir in the vanilla extract, melted butter, and heavy cream until well combined.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, mixing just until incorporated.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight) for best results.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and position the rack in the center.
- Spoon or pipe the batter into the madeline cavities, filling each about ¾ full.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center forms a hump.
- Let cool for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
Notes
- For a citrus twist, add 1 teaspoon of lemon or orange zest to the batter.
- For a chocolate variation, dip cooled madelines in melted dark or white chocolate.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
