Preparation time:
10 minutes
-
Cooking time:
8 minutes, plus cooling
-
Total time:
18 minutes
Ingredients
-
60g unsalted butter, melted
-
1 large egg
-
50g caster sugar
-
50g plain white flour
-
finely grated zest of 1 medium orange
-
Icing sugar, for dusting
Method
-
Preheat the oven to 190°C, gas mark 5. Use some of the melted butter to grease 15 madeleine moulds. Measure 50ml of the remaining butter and set aside to cool (there may be a little butter left over, which you won't need).
-
Whisk the egg and caster sugar until the mixture is very thick and mousse-like, and the beaters leave a clear trail.
-
Sift the flour on to the egg mixture and fold gently in. Then fold in the orange zest and the cool melted butter.
-
Fill each madeleine mould with the mixture and bake for 7-8 minutes. Turn out onto a cooling rack. Dust with icing sugar when cool, and serve.
