Faq
- Why did my madeleines turn out flat?
This usually happens if the batter lost its volume. Make sure to fold in the flour and other dry ingredients gently.
- How do I prevent my madeleines from sticking to the mold?
Grease your silicone molds with a bit of butter or baking spray to ensure easy removal.
- Can I add other flavors to my madeleines?
Absolutely! Try adding vanilla extract, replacing cocoa with matcha for green tea madeleines, or even a bit of almond extract.
- What’s the best way to store madeleines?
Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. They can also be frozen and warmed up when needed.
- Can I double the recipe?
Yes, just make sure to adjust your mixing times slightly to accommodate the larger volume.
- Can I make the batter ahead of time?
Yes, you can refrigerate the batter for up to 24 hours. Just give it a gentle stir before baking.
