Black sesame madeleine recipe

These black sesame madeleines have a moist texture and a slightly roasted flavor, characteristic of ground black sesame. Their taste is deeper and less sweet than a classic madeleine, with a subtle nutty note. They are perfect for afternoon tea or as an accompaniment to a cup of tea.

Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 100 g sugar
• 120 g flour
• 1/2 packet of baking powder (approximately 5 g)
• 100 g melted butter (cooled)
• 40 g black sesame paste (or finely ground black sesame seeds)
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Directions

1. Beat the eggs with the sugar until the mixture turns slightly white.
2. Add the black sesame paste and vanilla.
3. Add the cooled melted butter, then mix.
4. Sift the flour with the baking powder and salt, then gently fold into the mixture without overworking the dough.
5. Cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
6. This resting period promotes the development of the characteristic bump on madeleines.
7. Preheat the oven to 200°C.
8. Butter and flour the pan if necessary.
9. Fill the molds 3/4 full.
10. Bake for 4 minutes at 400°F, then lower the temperature to 350°F and continue baking for 4 to 6 minutes.
11. The madeleines should be lightly browned around the edges.
12. Remove from the pan immediately and let cool on a wire rack.
