SPECIAL EQUIPMENT
LET’S BEGIN!

Rose madeleines: minced rose petals and pure vanilla extract
Espresso madeleines: dissolved instant coffee granules in hot water
Coconut earl grey madeleines: finely ground sweetened shredded coconut and earl grey tea leaves
3. Gently fold in the ingredients with a large balloon whisk until there are no dry bits left. Be careful not to completely deflate the batter.
4. Finally, add the cooled melted unsalted butter to the batter and fold with the whisk until combined.
5. Cover the batter and chill for at least 1 hour.
6. Before baking, preheat your oven to 350°F/180°C and grease your madeleine moulds with melted butter.
7. Scoop the cold batter into each mould using a mini ice cream scoop (mine holds about 1 tbsp).
8. For the coconut earl grey madeleines, top off the batter with some more sweetened shredded coconut before baking.
9. Bake madeleines for 8-9 minutes until the cakes are golden brown.
10. Decorate as desired.
