Ingredients

• 120 grams Blue cornmeal
• 60 grams All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 115 grams Unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 120 grams Granulated sugar
• 2 Large eggs (room temperature)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 60 ml Whole milk
• 15 grams Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, whisk together the blue cornmeal, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

Step 2

In another bowl, whisk the granulated sugar and eggs until pale and frothy, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the vanilla extract and milk to the egg mixture, and stir until combined.

Step 4

Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

Slowly pour the melted butter into the batter while stirring gently. Mix until the butter is fully incorporated.

Step 6

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the batter for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight). This step helps the madeleines achieve their signature hump.

Step 7

When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and generously grease a madeleine pan with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 8

Spoon about 1 tablespoon of batter into each madeleine mold, filling it about 3/4 full.

Step 9

Bake for 9-11 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the centers spring back when gently pressed.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the madeleines cool in the pan for 2 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 11

If desired, dust the cooled madeleines with powdered sugar before serving. Enjoy!
