Brown Butter Madeleines



Ingredients

4 Tbsp. unsalted butter
2 egg yolks plus 1 egg
¼ cup brown sugar
1½ tsp. vanilla or maple extract
Pinch salt
¼ cup pecan meal
¼ cup all-purpose flour



Preparation

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

• Heat the butter in a small pan over medium heat. Once it smells very nutty and you can see some residue on the bottom of the pan, remove from heat and let it cool for a bit.

• Beat the egg yolks and egg with an electric beater on high until the batter becomes ribbon-like.

• Add in the sugar, vanilla and salt and keep mixing.

• Fold in the pecan meal and flour.

• Lastly, fold in the cooled browned butter.

• Spoon the batter into a madeleine mold and bake for about 10 minutes, or until the tops bounce back when lightly pressed.
