Chocolate Glazed Madeleines Recipes

Steps:

• Combine chopped chocolate and heavy cream in a double boiler and let chocolate melt over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. When mixture is satiny smooth, remove from heat and let cool slightly.
• Place madeleines on a rack over a tray lined with parchment. Pour chocolate over madeleines, making sure all sides are covered. (Try to keep crumbs from dropping onto the tray, so chocolate can be used again.)
• When the chocolate has been absorbed into the madeleines, apply a second coat, glazing as evenly as possible.
• Transfer madeleines to a clean rack to dry.

Steps:

• 1. Sift together the flour, cocoa and the salt.
• 2. Place the eggs and the sugar in a large bowl or the bowl of an electric mixer and whisk until thick and lemon-colored. Fold in the flour, then melted butter.
• 3. Butter the madeleine pans, then spoon in the batter, filling each about three fourths full. Refrigerate the filled madeleine pans and the remaining batter for one hour.
• 4. Heat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
• 5. Bake the madeleines just until they are firm and puffed, about 7 minutes. Turn them immediately from the molds, wipe out the molds, let cool and continue baking the madeleines until all of the batter is used. The madeleines are best when eaten slightly warm or at room temperature the same day they are made.

Steps:

• Place chopped white chocolate in a warm, dry stainless-steel bowl. Put the bowl in a warm spot, such as a gas oven with just the pilot light on or an electric oven set at 99 degrees. Stir occasionally with a wooden spoon (see note).
• Mix together the melted chocolate and heavy cream until smooth.
• Place madeleines on a rack over a tray lined with parchment. Pour chocolate over madeleines, making sure all sides are covered. (Try to keep crumbs from dropping onto the tray, so chocolate can be used again.)
• When the chocolate has been absorbed into the madeleines, apply a second coat, glazing as evenly as possible.
• Transfer cakes to a clean rack to dry.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees.
• Coat the molds first with vegetable-oil spray, then lightly rub with room-temperature butter. Do not leave any lumps of butter in the indentations of the mold.
• Set molds on a baking tray. To keep them level, prop them up with loosely crumpled aluminum foil.
• Melt the butter and allow it to cool while proceeding with the recipe.
• Using the whisk attachment on an electric mixer, beat together the eggs and sugar until tripled in bulk, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Add the salt, vanilla, and lemon zest, mixing thoroughly. Add the flour in 3 batches, very quickly shifting speed from low to high after each addition. Add the melted butter in the same manner.
• Using the whisk, scrape sides and bottom of the bowl, carefully blending batter so the butter doesn't settle to the bottom.
• Fill the prepared molds three-quarters full. Bake until golden, about 10 minutes, depending on size of mold. Invert cakes onto wire racks as soon as they are removed from oven. When thoroughly cooled, glaze with Chocolate or White Chocolate Ganache.
