Indulge in the rich and luscious flavors of these decadent dark chocolate madeleines. A sophisticated treat perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
| 3 | ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped |
|---|---|
| 1.33 | cups all-purpose flour, sifted |
| 1⁄2 | teaspoon double-acting baking powder |
| 1 | pinch salt |
| 5 | tablespoons unsalted butter, softened |
| 1⁄4 | cups superfine sugar |
| 1 | large egg, separated, at room temperature |
| 1 | tablespoon milk, at room temperature |
| 2 | teaspoons vanilla |
Instructions
| 1. | Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and position the rack in the center. |
|---|---|
| 2. | Prepare a madeleine mold pan by generously buttering the twelve 3-by-2-inch indentations. Lightly dust with sifted flour, then remove excess flour. |
| 3. | Melt the bittersweet chocolate in a double boiler over hot water, stirring until smooth. Set aside to cool for 5 to 10 minutes. |
| 4. | In a small bowl, combine sifted flour, double-acting baking powder, and a pinch of salt. |
| 5. | In a medium bowl, use a hand-held electric mixer on medium-high speed to cream softened unsalted butter and superfine sugar until creamy. |
| 6. | Add the separated egg yolk and continue mixing until light, about 20-30 seconds. |
| 7. | Beat in the melted chocolate. |
| 8. | Reduce the mixer speed to low and blend in room temperature milk and vanilla. |
| 9. | Mix in the flour mixture until smooth. |
| 10. | In another medium bowl, beat the egg white with a hand-held electric mixer on low speed until frothy. Increase speed to medium-high and beat until stiff, shiny peaks form. Fold the egg white into the chocolate mixture until evenly combined. |
| 11. | Divide the batter among the prepared molds, smoothing the tops to be level. |
| 12. | Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the madeleines spring back when gently pressed. Avoid overbaking to maintain their moist, fudgy texture. |
| 13. | Cool the madeleines in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. |
| 14. | Unmold the madeleines by inverting the pan onto a work surface and gently tapping. |
| 15. | Serve the madeleines warm or allow them to cool completely and store in an airtight container. |
