Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 First, take 80 grams of unsalted butter and continue to heat it over low heat until the color turns brown. Set it aside for later use. Caramelized butter is also called hazelnut butter. It really has a nutty aroma, especially when paired with almond flour, it's great.

   

2. 2 Mix 90 grams of eggs, 65 grams of white sugar, 10 grams of honey, and 2 grams of vanilla extract (optional) and set aside.

   

3. 3 Sift in 55 grams of low-gluten flour, 5 grams of matcha powder, 15 grams of almond flour, and 3 grams of baking powder.

   

4. 4 Mix everything well.

   

5. 5 Pour in the caramelized butter liquid that has been cooled to about 40°C and a few drops of lemon juice.

   

6. 6 Mix everything well.

   

7. 7 Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 2 hours.

   

8. 8 Put the refrigerated batter into a piping bag and set aside. Apply a layer of butter to the baking sheet, sprinkle with a layer of flour, and pipe the refrigerated batter on top.

   

9. 9 Garnish with chocolate chips.

   

10. 10 Preheat the oven to 220℃ in advance, bake at 220℃ for about 4 minutes, bake at 190℃ for about 5 minutes, and bake at 160℃ for about 5 minutes.

    

11. 11 After baking, unmold and let cool.

    

12. 12 Prepare 80 grams of white chocolate, melt it over water, put it into a piping bag, and squeeze it onto the bottom of the madeleine mold. (It is best to apply a thin layer of butter liquid, otherwise it may be difficult to demould. I used a silicone mold, so demoulding is very convenient.)

    

13. 13 Then add the cooled madeleine, press it slightly so that the chocolate evenly covers the madeleine, and put it in the refrigerator for about 20-30 minutes.

    

14. 14 Demold after setting.

18. 18 Madeleine is a well-known snack in France. Legend has it that it was invented by a maid and named after her. This dessert has a rich butter aroma, a crispy brown shell and a soft and sweet interior. The most representative thing is its shell-like appearance, so it is also called "shell cake".
