How to Make Madeleines

There’s more than one method to bake madeleines. The classic way calls For melting the butter separately, then folding it into a batter of egg, sugar, and flour. This method creates a pound-cake-like madeleine with the quintessential “hump” in the middle. My one-bowl method directs you to first melt the butter and sugar together. Then you whisk the eggs, flavoring, and flour into the same bowl for a quick batter that’s ready to scoop, bake, and serve. Both methods work well, so feel free to experiment and see which one you like best.
