You will also need a greasing agent for the tin, be it vegetable oil, butter or cake release.

Method:

1.Grease your Madeleine tin.

2. Weigh out your butter, place in a pan, then melt the butter on the hob or alternatively place in a microwavable dish and melt in the microwave.

5. You will need the yolk of a 4th egg so lightly tap the 4th egg onto the side of a small cup until it cracks and then hold the egg over the cup and let the egg white drip out of it.

6. Once all the egg white has dripped into the cup, break open the shell to reveal the extra yolk and place it in the mixing bowl with your 3 other eggs.

10. Now sieve the flour and baking powder into the mix and fold in using a metal spoon, ensuring you fold in near the base of the mix as you can get flour pockets that have not mixed in properly.

11. Now pour the cooled butter into the mixture and fold in with your metal spoon until it has all combined, the mixture should be quite thick. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and then finish mixing the ingredients together with a either a spatula or your metal spoon.

12. Scoop some of the mixture (about two teaspoons full) out of the mixing bowl and into each section of the tin, you should still be able to see the outer pattern of Madeleine tin when filled, they should be roughly three quarters full.

Tip: DO NOT overfill your Madeleine tin otherwise the mixture will spread and pour out all over your oven. If you have overfilled your tin, then scoop some of the mixture back out.

13. Place in the middle of the oven for approx 9 mins or until golden, once baked, remove from the oven, remove from the tin, (I used a cocktail stick to lightly lift the outer edge) and place on a wire rack to cool.

14. You can dust lightly with icing sugar once cool, eat on the day of baking.
