Substitutions

- Vanilla extract - you can use almond extract instead of vanilla extract.
Variations
Orange - add a tablespoon of orange zest to make the madeleines orange flavored.
FAQ
Typically, madeleines do contain gluten; however, this recipe does not. And, it tastes just as fluffy and delicious as a regular madeleine.
If the oven is too hot, the outsides of the madeleines will burn before the inside rises and cooks.
A madeleine mold is a special mold you can buy to make madeleines. It's similar to a cupcake pan.
Equipment
- Mixing bowls - these are my absolute FAVORITE mixing bowls. You can get them HERE.
- A rubber whisk - is essential for mixing the batter. Get mine HERE.
- Madeleine tins - this is a perfect set. Find it HERE.
Storage
You can store the madeleines in an airtight container for up to seven days. Store at room temperature.
You can also freeze the madeleines for up to three months. Wrap the madeleines in a freezer-safe ziplock bag.
Top tip
Make sure to grease the madeleine tins well so the madeleines don't stick!
