How to Make Madeleines
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease and flour a madeleine pan.
- In a medium heatproof bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon orange extract.
- Place the bowl over a saucepan of gently simmering water (double boiler), ensuring the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water.
- Whisk constantly until the mixture is very thick and pale yellow, about 5-7 minutes. The mixture should coat the back of a spoon.
- Remove from heat and continue whisking until the mixture is completely cool and holds its shape when a spoon is drawn through it (about 5-10 minutes).
- In a separate bowl, gently whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the cooled egg mixture in three additions, being careful not to overmix.
- In a small saucepan, melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter. Let it cool slightly.
- Gently fold the melted butter into the batter.
- Fill each madeleine mold about 3/4 full.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the madeleines are lightly browned and spring back when gently touched.
- Immediately remove the madeleines from the pan and let them cool completely on a wire rack, patterned side up.
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
