Chocolate Madeleines Recipe

Preheat the oven to 200°C ( gas mark 6-7).

In a small saucepan, gently melt the butter. Let it cool.

In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs, add the sugar, and gently mix with a whisk.

Using a small sieve, sift together the flour and baking powder, and add them to the egg and sugar mixture.

In a bowl, mix the cocoa powder and milk. Add them to the previous preparation.

Let rest for 1 hour at room temperature, then add the cold melted butter.

Using a brush, coat the madeleine mold with melted butter and then sprinkle it with flour.

Fill a piping bag with the madeleine batter and fill the molds three-quarters full. Place the mold in the oven for 10 to 12 minutes.

Unmold the madeleines as soon as they come out of the oven and let them cool on a rack.
