Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the batter for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight. This chilling step is crucial for developing the signature 'hump'.
Uns 1 h
Nota de cuina: A longer chill time, up to 12 hours, often results in a more pronounced hump.

Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Lightly grease and flour a Madeleine pan, tapping out any excess flour.
Uns 5 min
Nota de cuina: Ensure the pan is well-greased, especially in the shell indentations, to prevent sticking.
- 8
Spoon the chilled batter into each Madeleine mold, filling them about two-thirds full.
Uns 2 min
Nota de cuina: Avoid overfilling, as the batter will expand significantly.
- 9
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the madeleines have developed a distinct hump in the center.
Uns 10 min
Nota de cuina: Baking time may vary depending on your oven and Madeleine pan size.
- 10
Remove the madeleines from the oven and immediately invert them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Uns 1 min
Nota de cuina: Cooling on a rack prevents them from becoming soggy.

Once cooled, dust with confectioners' sugar, if desired, before serving.
