Ingredients
- 120 grams Blue cornmeal
- 60 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 115 grams Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
- 120 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 Large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 60 ml Whole milk
- 15 grams Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium bowl, whisk together the blue cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 2
In another bowl, whisk the granulated sugar and eggs until pale and frothy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the vanilla extract and milk to the egg mixture, and stir until combined.
Step 4
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.
Step 5
Slowly pour the melted butter into the batter while stirring gently. Mix until the butter is fully incorporated.
Step 6
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the batter for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight). This step helps the madeleines achieve their signature hump.
Step 7
When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and generously grease a madeleine pan with butter or non-stick spray.
Step 8
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of batter into each madeleine mold, filling it about 3/4 full.
Step 9
Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers spring back when gently pressed.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let the madeleines cool in the pan for 2 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 11
If desired, dust the cooled madeleines with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy!
