Pistachio Madeleines with White Chocolate Shell

Charming madeleines with a nutty edge from pistachios and a sweet finish from a white chocolate shell. A bakery-level treat made at home.

  • Total Time: 27 minutes
  • Yield: 24 madeleines

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup (113 g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (60 g) finely ground pistachios
  • 1 cup (170 g) white chocolate, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease and flour a madeleine pan.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, mix the melted butter with the sugar until combined.
  4. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla.
  5. Gradually fold in the dry ingredients and ground pistachios until just combined.
  6. Spoon the batter into the prepared madeleine pan, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
  7. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until the edges are golden and the center springs back when touched.
  8. Allow to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
  9. Melt the white chocolate and dip the cooled madeleines into the chocolate, letting them set on parchment paper.

Notes

For a crisper shell, use a metal pan instead of silicone. Chill the dough for 10 minutes for fluffier results.
