Product Information

Gobel, another French brand, is a go-to for home bakers and chefs who want to make authentic madeleines.

Madeleine molds are plenty on the market - that means you are bound to find one with just what you need. Chicago Metallic madeleine pan is made by one of the leaders-manufacturers that produce pans for home and commercial baking. Non-dairy milk - Use an unsweetened one if possible and definitely soy milk if you can, though any will work. I favour soy milk for baking as it has the highest protein content. It’s another classic French baking recipe courtesy of Chef Jean-Baptiste! Boy was he determined to get this one just perfect. The reputation of his motherland is on the line here, after all!!

What is a French Madeleine?

I think we got to Madeleine #226 before he finally conceded that Batch #1 was indeed the best. Isn’t it always the way? 😂 Cornflour - cornflour (cornstarch) helps to give the Madeleines a light, soft texture. You can swap it for more plain flour if you really must, but I strongly recommend using it. Madeleines are known for their attractive shell-shaped design and delicious cake-like texture. They not only work well as an after-dinner dessert, but they also go swimmingly with a cup of afternoon tea. Whether you’re interested in making madeleines for your family or a group of friends, you’ll need a good madeleine pan. Below are the features you’ll want to look for when shopping for the best pan. The most popular is the shell-shaped design, but there are also round, scallop-like, heart-shaped, and animal ones for those who look for something different. Capacity Vanilla extract– Extract is better than essence which is artificial. Use the best you can afford, for the best flavour;

Not only does this impeccably designed utensil perform every single time you use it, but its quality never goes down with age either. Goal batter: The batter is fairly thin but should leave a faint ribbon briefly on the surface, as pictured above (also see video); Baking powder - usually Madeleines have only a minimal amount of baking powder, or none at all, but they do contain eggs which help to make them light, and contribute to the rise and formation of the hump. To compensate I add a little extra baking powder instead. Here’s what you need to make Madeleines – though note that I accidentally left out lemon zest in this photo!! Flour– Just plain flour / all purpose flour. Though I haven’t tried, self raising flour should work too (skip the baking powder);The Moul'flex madeleine mold from silicone is an excellent example of the craftsmanship at De Buyer. The company offers both an all 36 count madeleine baking sheet and a mini madeleine pan - perfect sizes when entertaining guests or just need more than one dessert going at once. There were many, many Madeleines made in the quest to perfect this recipe and find answers to all the what-ifs in the making. We aren’t fussy around these parts… not at all! 😂 So what makes a perfect Madeleine, according to a French chef? You can swap the vanilla extract for lemon extract if you want a stronger lemon flavour, or use orange extract, orange blossom water or almond extract instead.

You can get away without chilling, but you will definitely get a better result if you can put the batter in the fridge for half an hour before cooking. Given that the rest of it is so easy, just put aside an extra half-hour to make the Madeleines. To get started on your journey towards becoming skilled at this delicate art form - you need is one good madeleine tin without which the madeleine recipe can't be successful.Caster sugar - caster sugar (superfine sugar) dissolves easily into the batter. You can use granulated instead if you can't get hold of caster. The cost of madeleines molds will vary depending on which brand you buy. Madeleines made with CHEFMADE scallop madeleine mold Brand
