How to Make Martha Stewart Madeleines
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease and flour a madeleine pan. (Alternatively, use silicone madeleine molds, no greasing needed.)
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and lemon zest until pale and fluffy (about 3-5 minutes using a hand mixer or stand mixer).
- Gradually add the melted butter to the egg mixture, whisking until combined.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared madeleine pan, filling each mold about ¾ full.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the madeleines cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
