How to Make Madeleines De Commercy

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Generously butter or grease a madeleine tin or mini-muffin pan. Dust with flour and tap out excess.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar until pale and thick (about 5 minutes using an electric mixer).
  4. Stir in 1 teaspoon orange extract and 6 tablespoons (85g) melted unsalted butter. Mix until well combined.
  5. Gently fold in 1 ½ cups (180g) all-purpose flour until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fill madeleine tins or mini-muffin pans about ¾ full. The batter will rise during baking.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the edges are crisp. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out with a few moist crumbs attached.
  8. Carefully remove madeleines from the pan immediately and let them cool slightly on a wire rack. Sprinkle generously with powdered sugar while still warm.
