Yield Makes 24

Number Of Ingredients 7

9 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled to room temperature, plus more for molds
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/4 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3 large eggs
3/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons sugar
5 tablespoons milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Butter and flour madeleine molds. Tap out excess. In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and cinnamon; set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat eggs and sugar until creamy. Add flour mixture and milk; mix until smooth. Add butter, and beat until creamy. Cover with plastic wrap; chill for 20 minutes.
  • Transfer mixture to a medium pastry bag fitted with a coupler. Pipe mixture into prepared molds. (Alternatively you can use 2-inch paper baking cases.) Transfer to oven, and bake until golden brown, about 9 minutes. Remove from molds immediately, and cool on a wire rack.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start baking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and tools ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid any mishaps.
  • Use room-temperature ingredients: This will help your ingredients blend together more easily and create a smoother batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make your madeleines tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the batter rest: This will allow the flavors to meld and will also help the madeleines rise better.
  • Use a hot oven: This will help the madeleines rise quickly and create a crispy exterior.
  • Don't overcook the madeleines: Overcooked madeleines will be dry and crumbly. Bake them just until they are golden brown.

Conclusion:

Cinnamon madeleines are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their delicate flavor and crispy exterior, they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give these cinnamon madeleines a try. You won't be disappointed!
