Ingredients

• 115 grams Unsalted butter
• 100 grams Granulated sugar
• 120 grams All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 tablespoon Instant coffee granules
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Milk
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and generously grease a madeleine pan with butter or coat with nonstick baking spray.

Step 2

Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat or in the microwave. Set it aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Set aside.

Step 4

Dissolve the instant coffee granules in the milk in a small bowl. Stir until smooth and set aside.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and granulated sugar together using an electric mixer or whisk until the mixture is pale and thick, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

Gently fold the flour mixture into the egg mixture in two additions, being careful not to overmix.

Step 7

Add the melted butter, vanilla extract, and the coffee-milk mixture to the batter. Fold gently until all the ingredients are well combined and the batter is smooth.

Step 8

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the batter for about 15 minutes. This helps the madeleines achieve their signature hump shape in the oven.

Step 9

Spoon the chilled batter evenly into the prepared madeleine pan, filling each mold about 3/4 full.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 9-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers spring back when lightly touched.

Step 11

Remove the pan 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 12

Dust the cooled madeleines with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy with a cup of coffee or tea!
