# List of Ingredients:
→ Madeleines
01 - 7 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing
02 - 2 large eggs
03 - 7 tablespoons granulated sugar
04 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
05 - ¾ cup all-purpose flour
06 - ½ teaspoon baking powder
07 - Pinch of fine sea salt
08 - Food coloring gels (pastel blue, purple, pink, green)
→ Decoration
09 - 5 ounces white chocolate, chopped
10 - Mermaid tail-shaped sprinkles or edible glitter
11 - Assorted sugar pearls
# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 - Preheat the oven to 350°F. Generously butter a madeleine pan and dust with flour, tapping out the excess.
02 - Melt the butter in a small saucepan, then set aside to cool slightly.
03 - In a medium bowl, beat the eggs and sugar with an electric mixer until pale and thick, about 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the vanilla extract.
04 - Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold this mixture into the egg mixture until just combined.
05 - Gradually fold the melted butter into the batter until smooth.
06 - Divide the batter evenly into 3 or 4 small bowls. Tint each with a different food coloring gel until pastel shades form.
07 - Using a teaspoon, spoon small amounts of each colored batter into the pan cavities, swirling gently to create a marbled effect.
08 - Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until puffed and golden at the edges. Cool in the pan for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
09 - Once completely cooled, melt the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water.
10 - Dip the tip of each madeleine into the melted white chocolate, then immediately sprinkle with mermaid tail sprinkles, edible glitter, and sugar pearls. Place on parchment paper to set.
