Ingredients
For Madeleine Batter
For Raspberry Caramel Filling






Instructions
Step 1
Ensure your eggs are at *room temperature* or gently warmed to not exceed 55°C (131°F). This will help the eggs to whip well.
Mix the batter ingredients together thoroughly. Place the mixed batter in the refrigerator and allow it to rest for 30 to 60 minutes. For a more intense flavor, you can refrigerate it for up to 12 hours.
Step 2
While the batter rests, preheat your oven along with a *baking sheet* inside. This helps to ensure that the madelines experience an *optimal rise* due to the temperature difference.
Step 3
Spoon the chilled batter into *molds* and place them on the preheated baking sheet. The sharp change in temperature will promote a better rise in the madeleines.
Step 4
Heat the raspberry puree until it reaches 80°C (176°F).
In a saucepan, melt the sugar with the glucose syrup until it achieves a rich amber color.
Add room temperature butter and mix thoroughly.
Pour the hot raspberry puree into the sugar mixture and cook for 10-15 seconds.
Remove from the heat, transfer the mixture to a container, and blend with an immersion *blender* until smooth.
Cool the caramel at room temperature and fill the center of your baked madeleines with this delightful filling.
Servings
These irresistible madeleines are perfect served warm right out of the oven or cooled to perfection. Pair with a hot cup of tea or coffee for a simple indulgence that feels utterly luxurious! ☕ 🍵
For a gourmet touch, *dust the madeleines with powdered sugar*. This gives a lovely visual contrast and adds a hint of sweetness. ✨
Plan a picnic? 🎉 These beauties travel well and make for a delightful surprise on any outdoor adventure. Pack them alongside some fresh raspberries and a bottle of chilled rosé, and you'll have a treat that's both elegant and casual—the perfect balance!
Equipment
Use a large, clean mixing bowl to ensure all your ingredients are blended evenly. A glass or stainless steel option is perfect.



An electric mixer will save time and help achieve the perfect egg consistency required. Ensure it's clean and dry before use.



Chilling the dough is crucial for the texture, so make sure you have space in your fridge ready and waiting.

Variations
Want to make this lovely treat gluten-free? It's simple! Substitute the all-purpose flour with a high-quality gluten-free flour blend. Ensure it's one that's meant for baking to get that fluffy texture we all adore. 🌿
For vegan madeleines, go for a non-dairy butter option and a flaxseed egg substitute (mix one tablespoon of flaxseed meal with three tablespoons of water and let it sit). Use a raspberry puree made with natural sweeteners instead of sugar, and you’ve got a kinder, gentler version of this beloved treat! 🌱
Faq
- Why do I need to use room temperature eggs?
Room temperature eggs mix more easily, incorporating air better, which helps in creating lighter and fluffier baked goods. 🥚
- Can I skip chilling the dough?
Chilling the dough is essential. It helps the madeleines rise properly, giving them that classic "hump" on top. Without chilling, you're likely to end up with flatter cakes. 📉
- How do I prevent the caramel from becoming too hard?
Keep a close eye on the caramel while cooking. Remove it from heat immediately once it reaches the right amber color and add the raspberry puree. This should maintain a smooth consistency. 🌟
- What if my madeleines stick to the moulds?
Ensure your moulds are well-buttered or invest in non-stick madeleine pans. Try dusting them with a light coat of flour after buttering for extra assurance. ⚙️
- How do I store leftover madeleines?
Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days. They can also be frozen and reheated in the oven for a few minutes to regain that freshly baked texture! ❄️
- Can I flavor the caramel with something other than raspberry?
Absolutely! Try other fruit purees or even a hint of vanilla or orange zest for a twist. The possibilities are endless, so feel free to experiment! 🍊🍇
