FAQ
Can I use a muffin tin to make madeleines?
Although a muffin tin can be used, the distinctive shell shape of madeleines is part of their appeal. If you don’t have a madeleine tin, you can still try a muffin tin, but the texture and appearance may be different.
Can madeleines be made without eggs?
Traditional madeleines require eggs, but if you have special dietary requirements, you can try an egg substitute such as applesauce or a mixture of chickpea flour and water.
Can I make the batter in advance?
Yes, you can prepare the dough in advance and store it in the refrigerator for 1-2 days. This will allow the flour to hydrate better, making the madeleines even softer.
How can I get even softer madeleines?
For softer madeleines, try not to overmix the dough once you have added the flour, to avoid it becoming too compact. Also, let the dough rest in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before baking.
