Lemon Madeleines by Lenôtre
The Brittany origins of Chef Gaston Lenôtre definitely influenced what became the Traditional Madeleine recipe in every French household.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 2/3 cup (130 g) sugar
- 1 1/2 Tbsp (20 g) Lavender Honey
- 3/4 cup (100 g) flour
- 3 1/2 tbsp (50 g) flour
- 8 1/2 Tbsp (125 g) butter (Softened, At Room Temperature)
- 1/16 tsp (0.5 g) Sea Salt
- 1 tsp (5 g) baking powder
- 1/2 Lemon Zest
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar, Lavender Honey and Sea Salt until light and doubled in size (about 4-5min / Medium Speed).
- Whisk in the flour and baking powder until incorporated.
- Then, add the softened butter with the lemon zest. Gently mix until well incorporated.
- Fill your Pastry Bag with the Madeleine batter. Ideally, refrigerate it overnight, if not possible, a minimum of 2 hours will do. IMPORTANT: In order to get a nice Madeleine bump your dough needs to be really cold and your oven very hot.
- Preheat oven to 445F/230C (at least 30 minutes prior baking).
- Place your Madeleine Flexipan® Tray on the top of your Medium Perforated Baking Sheet. Set aside.
- Take your Pastry Bag out of the fridge and carefully pipe your batter into each wells of your Flexipan®.
- Drop your oven to 400F/200C, and bake for 5 minutes. You will notice a curve in the batter and after that the Madeleine Bump will grow.
- Then, drop your oven to 350F/180C and bake for an additional 5 minutes. Every oven heats differently, monitor your madeleines.
- Once your madeleines are out of the oven, unmold right away and place on a cooling rack. They can be enjoyed right out of the oven and up to a few days later stored in a airtight container. Enjoy! Bon Appétit!
