Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- 1 cup (120 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup (100 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Wet Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) unsweetened almond milk
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Flavor Enhancers:
- Zest of 1 lemon
Instructions
- Prepare the madeleine pan by lightly coating with oil and dusting with flour at 375F (190C).
- Combine dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl, creating a uniform powder with flour, sugar, baking powder, and fragrant lemon zest.
- Whisk liquid components separately, blending almond milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until achieving a silky, homogeneous mixture.
- Gently fold liquid ingredients into dry mixture, stirring with minimal strokes to prevent gluten development and maintain a delicate texture.
- Carefully distribute batter into madeleine molds, filling each cavity approximately three-quarters full to allow proper rising.
- Place pan in preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, monitoring until edges turn golden and surface springs back when lightly touched.
- Remove from oven and let madeleines cool in pan for 2-3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to prevent soggy bottoms.
- Optional: Dust cooled madeleines with powdered sugar for an elegant, refined finish that enhances their delicate appearance.
Notes
- Embrace flexible flour options like gluten-free blends for those with wheat sensitivities.
- Experiment with different citrus zests such as orange or lime to create unique flavor profiles.
- Ensure ingredients are at room temperature to achieve a smoother, more consistent batter texture.
- Let madeleines cool completely on a wire rack to maintain their delicate, crisp exterior and prevent sogginess.
