For about 40 madeleines
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes
Ingredients
- 225 g flour
- 175 g Eyguebelle chestnut syrup
- 100 g butter
- 1 sachet of baking powder
- 4 Eggs
- 1 Pinch Salt
- Chestnut cream
- 240g Chocolate
Icing for decoration (optional) :
- 1 egg white
- 150g icing sugar
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- Natural colouring powder (desired colours)
Preparation:
1. Preheat the oven to 210°C.
2. Melt the butter. Meanwhile, beat the syrup and eggs until white. Add the flour, baking powder and pinch of salt and mix with a spatula.
3. Stir in the butter and mix gently.
4. Butter and flour the madeleine moulds. Place a little pastry in the base, then place a teaspoon of chestnut cream in the centre and cover with pastry (be careful not to fill more than ¾ of the moulds as the madeleines will swell).
5. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Unmould the madeleines and set aside. Clean the madeleine moulds.
6. Melt the chocolate and brush over the madeleine moulds. Put the madeleines back into the moulds and set aside in the fridge for 1 hour (or in the freezer for around 15 minutes to speed things up). Turn out of the moulds.
7. Decorate as desired using sugar paste, sugar decorations or icing (preparation: mix the egg white with the lemon juice. Gradually add the sugar and stir until smooth. You can add icing sugar until you obtain a consistency that is not too liquid. Divide the mixture into different colours using natural colouring. Then place these different preparations in different piping bags and cut the end to make a small hole).
