Description
Classic French madeleines made with plant-based milk and oil instead of dairy.
Ingredients
Non-dairy milk (soy, almond, oat, or coconut)
Oil (sunflower, avocado, or melted coconut oil) as a butter substitute
Egg replacer
Flour (with xanthan gum if using a gluten-free blend)
Sugar
Vanilla extract, lemon juice, or citrus zest, to taste
Instructions
Grease each cavity of the madeleine pan thoroughly. Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature.
Mix the dry and wet ingredients separately, then fold together gently to preserve the air bubbles that give madeleines their texture.
Chill the batter for 30-60 minutes (at least 1 hour for the best hump).
Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C). Fill each mold about 3/4 full with batter.
Bake at 400°F for the first 6 minutes, then lower the temperature to 365°F for the remaining 4 minutes (10-13 minutes total), until the edges are golden brown.
Cool briefly in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
