Preparation

How to prepare Strawberry Madeleines

To make the strawberry madeleines, first wash the strawberries and remove the hull 1, then transfer them to a pitcher 2 and blend with an immersion blender 3.

After preparing the strawberry puree 4, melt the butter in a saucepan and let it cool slightly. In a separate bowl, pour the eggs 5 and beat them together with the sugar without whipping them 6.

Also add the strawberry puree 7 and mix the batter with a whisk. Sift the baking powder 8 and flour 9 into the bowl.

Incorporate the dry ingredients with the whisk 10, then add the melted butter 11 and mix everything together 12. Cover with plastic wrap and let the batter rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

After this time, butter the madeleine mold and fill each cavity with a scant tablespoon of batter 13. Bake in a preheated static oven at 392°F (200°C) for about 12 minutes 14. Once cooked, remove the mold from the oven 15.

Unmold the madeleines while still hot by tapping the mold lightly 16, then let them cool. In the meantime, start preparing the glaze: trim the strawberries 17 and blend them with the immersion blender 18.

Strain the puree through a sieve to make it smooth and uniform 19, then add it to the powdered sugar 20 and mix everything together 21.

Finally, add the lemon juice 22 and mix again. Dip one end of the madeleines into the glaze 23 and let them dry at room temperature. Your strawberry madeleines are ready to be served 24!
