Consider the number of people you plan on serving. Most madeleine pans make 12 cakes each, however, you’ll find models like the USA Pan 16-Cup Madeleine Bakeware can accommodate a larger number of madeleines with each batch. If you place two pans in the oven at a time, that’s an extra eight cakes! Madeleine molds are plenty on the market - that means you are bound to find one with just what you need.
Stand mixer- This means you can start the eggs and sugar whisking while you get on with the rest of the recipe. As the whisking can take 10 minutes, this is a real labour-saver. I love my Kenwood Chef, similar to the model used on Bake-Off. One of the specialties of the French company Matfer Bourgeat is producing a sharing madeleine mold to make XXL-sized madeleine ( la madeleine du partage in French).
Whisk eggs and sugar:Whisk the eggs and sugar vigorously until it becomes pale and a bit foamy on the surface. This will take about 2 minutes by hand (and a bit of bicep strength!) or 1 minute on speed 6 with handheld beater; The Moul'flex madeleine mold from silicone is an excellent example of the craftsmanship at De Buyer. This French invention has been around since 1959, and it still rules supreme as one of, if not the best option available today.
Bake: Bake for 10 minutes in a 200°C/390°F oven (180°C). The oven is hotter than you might imagine for delicate little sponge cakes like this because this is how you achieve the beautiful golden surface in such a short baking time, and the signature hump. As mentioned above, that hump is the sign of a well made Madeleine – so we want the hump!! Fill piping bag with the batter, fitted with a small round nozzle. I fit the bag into a tall glass or my Nutribullet jug, then pour the batter in;
Our Picks For The Top Madeleine Pans
Should you invest in a new madeleine pan if you have one at home? This is a great question. You might have an old, vintage madeleine pan from your grandma!
I think we got to Madeleine #226 before he finally conceded that Batch #1 was indeed the best. Isn’t it always the way? 😂 Allow them to defrost at room temperature. You can refresh them in a low oven for a couple of minutes before serving if you wish. More Recipes For A Vegan Afternoon Tea: A tender, elegant crumb with fine, delicate holes. Not large, crude, irregular-sized holes. We aren’t making sourdough here!

The company offers both an all 36 count madeleine baking sheet and a mini madeleine pan - perfect sizes when entertaining guests or just need more than one dessert going at once. Vanilla extract– Extract is better than essence which is artificial. Use the best you can afford, for the best flavour; Here’s what you need to make Madeleines – though note that I accidentally left out lemon zest in this photo!!
If you want to make madeleines often and look for something durable that will last long enough, think about brands used by professional chefs. Cornflour - cornflour (cornstarch) helps to give the Madeleines a light, soft texture. You can swap it for more plain flour if you really must, but I strongly recommend using it. Add everything else except butter:Add salt, oil, milk, honey, vanilla and lemon. Mix until combined.You can get away without chilling, but you will definitely get a better result if you can put the batter in the fridge for half an hour before cooking. Given that the rest of it is so easy, just put aside an extra half-hour to make the Madeleines. Make sure that steel pans don't release harmful substances, such as PTFE, PFOA, etc., at high temperatures. Even though the aluminum conductive properties are reasonable, it is not the best material to choose. Temperature resistance And honestly, try telling me you could resist if I put a plate of these out at breakfast? Anyone who says they could is either made of stone – or a liar!😂 – Nagi x
