Mary Berry Madeleines Ingredients
- 150g (5oz) butter, melted, plus extra for greasing
- 150g (5oz) self-raising flour, plus extra for dusting
- 3 eggs
- 150g (5oz) caster sugar
- ½ tsp baking powder
- Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
- Icing sugar, to dust
How To Make Mary Berry Madeleines
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 220°C (Fan 200°C) or Gas Mark 7 (425°F). Grease two 12-hole Madeleine trays, dust with flour, and tap out the excess.
- Prepare Batter: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and sugar with an electric mixer until pale and thick, and the mixture leaves a prominent trail when the whisk is lifted.
- Combine Ingredients: Sift half of the flour into the mixture. Add the baking powder and lemon zest. Gently fold until incorporated, taking care not to overmix. Pour in half of the melted butter around the edge of the bowl and fold in. Repeat with the remaining flour and butter.
- Fill Molds: Spoon the batter into the prepared Madeleine trays, filling each mold just below the rim. Bake in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes until the Madeleines are well-risen, golden, and springy to the touch.
- Cool: Use a small palette knife to carefully remove the Madeleines from the trays and cool them on a wire rack.
- Serve: Dust with icing sugar before serving. Enjoy!
Recipe Tips
- Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Ensure eggs and butter are at room temperature for better mixing and a smoother batter.
- Don’t Overmix the Batter: Fold in flour and butter gently to keep the Madeleines light and fluffy.
- Chill the Batter: Rest the batter in the fridge for about 30 minutes for better rise and texture.
- Preheat the Oven Properly: Make sure the oven is fully preheated to ensure even baking and proper rising.
- Grease and Flour the Trays: Grease and flour the trays well to prevent sticking and help the Madeleines release easily.
