Cook Time8 minutes
Total Time23 minutes

Ingredients

  • 60 grams Unsalted butter - melted
  • 1 Egg - Large
  • 50 grams Golden Caster Sugar
  • 50 grams Plain White Flour
  • 1 Orange finely grated zest
  • 0.5 tsp rosewater

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 190°C / 375°F GM5. Use some of the melted butter to grease 12 madeleine mould tin. Measure 50ml of the remaining butter and set aside to cool
  • Whisk the egg and caster sugar until the mixture is very thick and mousse-like, and the beaters when lifted out of the batter leave a clear trail.
  • Sift the flour on to the batter mix and fold gently in. Then fold in the orange zest and rose water (if using) and the cooled melted butter
  • (I chilled overnight at this point)
  • Fill each madeleine mould with the mixture and bake for 7-8 minutes. Turn out onto a cooling rack
