Ingredients

The following ingredients have 19 Servings
  • 100 g dark chocolate
  • 85 g butter (at room temperature and cut into small squares)
  • 55 g plus 3 tablespoons of plain flour
  • 1 teaspoon of baking powder
  • 2 large eggs
  • 110 g sugar

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees celsius and grease a madeleine tray with butter.
  • Melt the chocolate and butter either over a pot of steaming water or in the microwave and stir until smooth. Set aside to cool.
  • In a small bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder.
  • In a mixer, whisk the eggs until frothy. Then gradually add the sugar and continue whisking until the mixture is pale yellow and has thickened. Turn off the mixer.
  • Add the cooled butter to the mixture and fold through the mixture gently with a spoon before carefully adding the flour. Mix until just combined.
  • Fill the moulds until 3/4 full and bake in the oven for 11 to 13 minutes or until they are puffed and spring back when touched. Do not overbake.
