Equipment

  • Large madeleines pan
  • Hand or stand mixer

Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 ea Orange zest plus extra for garnish
  • 140 g Granulated sugar
  • 4 ea Whole eggs
  • 2 ea Egg yolks
  • 1 tsp Orange extract
  • 125 g All-purpose flour
  • 1¼ tsp Baking powder
  • ¼ tsp Kosher salt
  • 100 g Butter, unsalted melted, not hot
  • 1 cup Dark chocolate for dipping

Instructions
 

  • Combine the sugar and orange zest in the bowl of your hand or stand mixer. Rub the sugar and orange zest together until evenly distributed.
  • Add the eggs, egg yolks, and extract and, using your beaters for a hand mixer or whip attachment for a stand mixer, whip on high speed until pale and fluffy.
  • Reduce speed to low and alternately add in the dry ingredients and melted butter in 2 or 3 additions each. Make sure to stop the mixer half way through and scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl.
  • Once all ingredients are added, scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl and gently fold in any unmixed ingredients together.
  • Place a piece of plastic wrap on top of the batter and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  • In the final 30 minutes of chilling, preheat the oven to 400℉ and grease your madeleines pan with pan spray.
  • Portion your batter into the madeleines mold filling about ⅔ of the mold. Place the leftover batter back in the fridge.
  • Reduce the temperature to 350℉ and bake the madeleines for 9-11 minutes rotating halfway through. They should be light brown and spring back slowly when poked.
  • Allow to cool on a cooling rack and once the pan has cooled, repeat steps 6-8.
  • Once all madeleines are cool, melt the dark chocolate and dip. Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle with orange zest and sea salt if desired.
