Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
5 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/3 cup granulated sugar -- (extra fine or castor sugar)
2 large eggs -- room temperature
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup cake flour
To garnish: -- Powdered sugar, chocolate glaze or finely chopped hazelnuts for decorating

In a small saucepan over medium heat melt butter until changes color and
browned around edges, about 5-6 minutes. Set aside to cool.

In the bowl of stand mixer beat sugar, eggs, and salt until thick and
lemon yellow. Add vanilla.

Sprinkle flour over egg mixture, alternating with browned butter. Fold
gently so that batter doesn't lose volume. Cover batter and refrigerate
for an hour or until thick.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Brush madeleine pan with melted butter. Fill
each well of prepared pan with about 1 tablespoon of batter. Bake for 12
to 14 minutes or until cakes are golden brown. Cool for about 10 minutes
before removing from pan. Cool completely on wire rack.

Sift powdered sugar over cakes just before serving. You can also dip in
chocolate glaze and roll in hazelnuts. Be sure to allow chocolate to
harden before serving. Store in airtight container.

Citrus Madeleines: add 1 tablespoon of grated lemon or orange zest in
place of vanilla. Brush with lemon, orange, or honey glaze.

Chocolate Madeleines: Increase sugar to ½ cup and substitute ¼ cup
unsweetened cocoa for 2 tablespoons of flour. Whisk flour and cocoa
together before sprinkling over egg mixture. I sometimes add a teaspoon of
cinnamon into this recipe or instead of vanilla extract use almond extract
