Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 eggs ((large), preferably room temperature)

  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt ((scant))
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 10 tablespoons unsalted butter, (melted & cooled slightly)
  • 3 tablespoons powdered sugar ((optional garnish))

Instruction

  • Place the sugar, eggs, vanilla, and salt in a large mixing bowl and whip on high speed until doubled in volume and very pale in color (approx. 5 to 7 minutes).
  • Sift in 1/3 of the flour, then gently fold until combined.
  • Fold in 1/3 of the butter gently, until combined.
  • Repeat the previous 2 steps until all the flour and butter are incorporated.
  • Chill the batter for 1 hour to overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, grease a madeleine pan, and dust it with flour, tapping out any excess.
  • Scoop 1.5 tablespoons of batter into each well of the pan.
  • Bake until puffed and golden brown around the edges and springy to the touch (approx. 10 to 12 minutes).
  • Transfer to a wire rack to cool, and dust with powdered sugar to garnish.
