Serves: 24
Ingredients
  • ⅔ cup sugar
  • 3 large eggs (at room temperature)
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1½ tsp orange blossom water
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour, sifted with 1 tsp baking powder
  • 10 tbsp unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
  • powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
  1. Beat sugar, egg and salt in a big enough bowl on medium high speed until pale and thick. Stir in the orange blossom water.
  2. Add the flour and melted butter, alternately, folding gently so the batter loses as little volume as possible.
  3. Refrigerate the batter (covered), for 45 minutes or until thickened.
  4. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  5. Grease and flour a madeleine pan, knocking any excess flour off.
  6. Scoop 1 tbsp of batter into the prepared pan.
  7. Bake standard-sized madeleines for 10-13 minutes, or until lightly golden around the edges.
  8. (If you have only one pan, bake in sequence, keeping the remaining batter refrigerated.)
  9. Cool in pan for few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar, for garnish.
