Instructions
Step 1
Begin by melting the butter in a saucepan. Once melted, stir in the **pistachio paste** and set aside to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the **eggs** and **sugar** until well combined. Gradually add the **milk** to the mixture.
In a separate bowl, combine the **all-purpose flour**, **pistachio flour**, and **baking powder**. Sift this dry mixture over the egg mixture and gently fold until just combined.
Finally, fold in the melted butter and pistachio paste mixture until the batter is smooth. Be careful not to over-mix. Transfer the batter into a piping bag and refrigerate it for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight.
Step 2
Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F). Line a muffin or madlen mold with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
Pipe the chilled batter into each cavity of the prepared mold, filling each about 2/3 full. Sprinkle the tops generously with **crushed pistachios**.
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 10-12 minutes. Keep an eye on them to ensure they do not over-bake. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool completely before filling.
Step 3
To prepare the ganache, chop the **white chocolate** and place it in a mixing bowl. In a small saucepan, heat the **cream** along with **glucose syrup** until it begins to simmer.
Pour the hot cream mixture over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for a minute. Then, add the **pistachio paste** and blend with an immersion blender until smooth and emulsified.
Cover the ganache with plastic wrap directly on the surface and let it stabilize at room temperature. Before using, whisk it lightly; it will remain slightly fluid, which is perfectly okay as it will firm up in the refrigerator.
Step 4
Melt the **white chocolate** for the glaze and add your choice of **food coloring** in small increments, mixing thoroughly until the desired color is reached.
To glaze the cookies, dip each one halfway into the colored chocolate and place on parchment paper until set. Alternatively, temper the melted chocolate using your preferred method for a more shiny finish.
Let them cool completely, and your **Pistachio Madlen Cookies** will be ready to enjoy!

Equipment
A piping bag is essential for forming the Madeleines with precision. If you don't have one, a ziplock bag with a corner snipped off will work too!

Investing in a good-quality Madeleine pan will ensure that your pastries come out perfectly shaped. If using a non-stick pan, you may not need to grease it excessively.
A medium mixing bowl for combining wet ingredients and a larger one for dry ingredients will streamline your baking process.
A whisk is crucial for achieving that light and airy texture. If you don’t have a whisk, a fork can do the trick, but be ready for a workout!

Variations
- **Gluten-Free Option:** Simply substitute the all-purpose flour with an equal amount of gluten-free flour blend. Make sure the blend is suitable for baking to retain the structure and fluffiness of your Madeleines!
- **Vegan Variation:** Replace the eggs with flax eggs (1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons of water per egg). Use almond milk instead of regular milk and opt for vegan butter or coconut oil to keep it dairy-free. Your vegan guests will appreciate this thoughtful twist! Enjoy these variations without compromising on taste, and keep the **heavenly flavors running!** 🎉
Faq
- What should I do if my Madeleines don't rise properly?
Make sure your batter rests in the fridge for at least 3 hours. This chilling time is crucial for the Madeleines to rise beautifully in the oven!
- Can I substitute pistachio paste with something else?
Yes! If you don’t have pistachio paste, you can use almond or hazelnut paste, but it will change the flavor profile slightly!
- What can I do to make my Madeleines more colorful?
Consider adding natural food coloring or matcha powder to your batter; both create a beautiful swirl and vibrant hue while complementing the nutty flavor.
- How can I make my Madeleines more flavorful?
Infuse the batter with a little vanilla extract or consider adding orange or lemon zest for a zesty twist!
- What is the best way to store my Madeleines?
Keep them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for about a week. You can also freeze them for longer storage!
- This recipe calls for white chocolate! Can I use dark chocolate instead?
Absolutely! Dark chocolate will give the Madeleines a richer flavor, making them even more indulgent!
