Equipment

  • madeleine pan

Ingredients

  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 2/3 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Zest
  • 1 cup Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour
  • 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
  • 1/8 tsp Salt
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 1 tbsp Powdered Sugar, for dusting

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar vigorously for about 2 minutes until pale and slightly thickened. Whisk in the vanilla extract and lemon zest.
  • Sift the gluten free 1-to-1 baking flour, baking powder, and salt directly over the egg mixture. Gently fold in with a rubber spatula until no dry streaks remain. Drizzle in the melted butter and fold until fully incorporated and the batter is smooth and glossy.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the batter for at least 1 hour or up to overnight. This is essential for the signature bump on top.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 F. Generously grease a madeleine pan with butter and lightly dust with gluten free flour, tapping out the excess. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of batter into each mold, filling about three-quarters full. Do not spread the batter.
  • Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the madeleines are golden around the edges and the tops spring back when lightly touched. Immediately turn the pan over and tap to release the madeleines. Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm.
