Ingredients

Batter

  • 1 cup (125 g) All Purpose Flour
  • 1 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1 pinch Kosher Salt
  • ½ cup ( 100 g) Granulated Sugar
  • 2 tsp Lemon Zest
  • 1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
  • 2 Eggs
  • 1 Egg White
  • 1 Tbsp Poppy Seeds
  • 8 Tbsp Unsalted Butter melted and cooled

Melted Butter For Pan

  • 3 Tbsp Unsalted Butter melted and cooled

Instructions

Madeleine Batter

  • Whisk together flour, salt, and baking powder in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer with whisk attachment, combine sugar, eggs, egg white, zest, and lemon juice. 
  • Whisk on medium high speed for 8-10 minutes until a light airy foam like consistency is formed. Almost like a soft meringue.
  • Remove bowl from mixer and slowly begin folding in flour mixture a quarter at a time, with the poppy seeds.
  • Then, slowly pour in the cooled melted butter and gently fold into the mixture.
  • Cover bowl with plastic wrap and set in the fridge for 45 minutes. 
  • Preheat oven to 350 F (176 C).
  • Brush melted butter across each shell shape to prevent sticking.
  • Fill each madeleine well with a heaping Tbsp of batter. Don't flatten the batter, it will melt and fill the shell shape as it bakes. 
  • Bake for 10-12 minutes until a light golden brown crust has formed around the edges.
  • Let cool in pan for 5 minutes then remove and eat!
