How to bake perfect madeleines

Rinse and clean the lemon and orange skin

Grate the skin of both in a bowl

Chop the butter in a bowl and melt it in the microwave

Set it aside to cool

Strain the flour into a bowl

Add the sugar

Add the baking powder and the pinch of salt

Add the grated orange and lemon peel, whisk all the ingredients together

Add the now cold melted butter and whisk

Crack the eggs in

And whisk everything together

Scoop the sides and refrigerate for about an hour

After an hour take the mix out of the fridge. Take your baking trays, better if you have those specific for madeleines, but any other would would work as well

Scoop some in each of the spots, just fill them halfway as the mix will grow when baking. Bake for 10-12min in a 180C preheated oven

You will see them grow very quickly

Aaand, perfectly baked!

Edit 01: if you want to add a twist, you can swap lemon and orange peel with cocoa powder and soluble coffee in the dough.
