Chef's Tips

For best results, chill the batter for at least 30 minutes before baking. This allows the flour to fully hydrate and results in a more tender madeleine.

To get the characteristic madeleine 'hump', place the tin in the preheated oven directly from the fridge.

Madeleines are best enjoyed fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

Experiment with other citrus zests, such as lemon or grapefruit, for a different flavour profile.

To make a potato flour glaze, sieve a small amount of Jersey Royal potato flour with icing sugar and add a little water to make a thick icing. Drizzle across the cooled madeleines for an extra Jersey touch.
