Chocolate Madeleines Recipe from Mireille Guiliano's The French Women Don't Get Fat Cookbook.

📝 Ingredients

• 100 g dark chocolate
• 85 g butter (at room temperature and cut into small squares)
• 55 g plus 3 tablespoons of plain flour
• 1 teaspoon of baking powder
• 2 large eggs
• 110 g sugar

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Preheat the oven to 200 degrees celsius and grease a madeleine tray with butter.

3. 3In a small bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder.
4. 4In a mixer, whisk the eggs until frothy. Then gradually add the sugar and continue whisking until the mixture is pale yellow and has thickened. Turn off the mixer.
5. 5Add the cooled butter to the mixture and fold through the mixture gently with a spoon before carefully adding the flour. Mix until just combined.
6. 6Fill the moulds until 3/4 full and bake in the oven for 11 to 13 minutes or until they are puffed and spring back when touched. Do not overbake.
