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.
