Instructions
Creating Strawberry Madeleines is a delightful experience. Follow these simple steps to make your own batch:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease the madeleine pans with butter or cooking spray.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. Beat Eggs and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and granulated sugar together until light and frothy.
4. Add Vanilla and Strawberry Puree: Stir in the vanilla extract and strawberry puree, mixing until well combined.
5. Combine Mixtures: Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, being careful not to overmix.
6. Add Melted Butter: Gently fold in the melted butter until just combined. If using, add lemon zest for extra flavor.
7. Fill the Pans: Spoon the batter into the prepared madeleine pans, filling each mold about ¾ full.
8. Bake: Place the pans in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the centers spring back when lightly pressed.
9. Cool: Remove from the oven and let the madeleines cool in the pans for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10. Dust with Powdered Sugar: Once cooled, dust the madeleines with powdered sugar for an elegant finish.
