Let’s Make it together

Melt Your Butter: Start by melting butter in a small saucepan over low heat until it’s completely liquid but not browned. Let it cool slightly while preparing other ingredients.

Prepare Your Batter: In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and eggs until fully combined. The mixture should be smooth and somewhat thick.

Add Flavors: Stir in vanilla extract and cooled melted butter into the batter until well incorporated. The combination should create a luscious aroma that fills your kitchen.

Chill Your Batter: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This step enhances flavor and helps achieve that trademark madeleine hump

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease your madeleine molds with non-stick spray or additional melted butter to ensure easy removal later.

Bake Those Madeleines: Spoon batter into each mold about three-quarters full. Bake for 10-12 minutes until edges turn golden brown, and they spring back when touched.

Dip in Chocolate: Once cooled slightly, melt chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Dip each madeleine tip into the melted chocolate before placing them on parchment paper to set.
