Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams Unsalted butter
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 30 grams Desiccated coconut
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 pinch Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Coconut extract (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for dusting)
- 10 grams Butter (for greasing the molds)
Instructions
Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat or in the microwave, then set it aside to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, desiccated coconut, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Add the vanilla extract and coconut extract (if using), and mix well.
Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the melted butter until incorporated. The batter should be smooth but thick.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the batter for at least 30 minutes. This step helps ensure the characteristic hump forms during baking.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and grease a madeleine pan generously with softened butter.
Spoon about one tablespoon of batter into each madeleine mold, filling them about three-quarters full.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers spring back when lightly pressed.
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the madeleines to cool for 2 minutes in the pan before carefully unmolding them onto a cooling rack.
Dust the cooled madeleines with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy with a cup of tea or coffee!
