Cinnamon Madeleines

These easy and elegant Cinnamon Madeleines are tender shell-shaped cakes with a warm, buttery aroma of cinnamon, perfect for pairing with coffee or tea.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 12 madeleines

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1 cup White sugar
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1/8 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
  • 3/4 cup Butter, melted and cooled (1 1/2 sticks)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Almond extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon Ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
  2. Spray madeleine molds with non-stick spray.
  3. In the top of a double boiler over hot water, heat eggs and sugar, stirring constantly, until pale and thick ribbons form. Remove from heat and let cool.
  4. Stir in flour, then add remaining ingredients, folding gently.
  5. Fill madeleine molds generously, leaving the surface slightly domed.
  6. Chill the filled pan for 10 minutes for a stronger hump, then bake for approximately 15 minutes or until lightly browned.
  7. Cool for one minute before removing to racks to cool completely.
  8. Sprinkle with powdered sugar or dip in chocolate as desired.

Notes

Use room-temperature eggs for better volume when whipping. For vegan, substitute eggs with aquafaba. Using fine granulated sugar helps for quicker dissolution.
