    💡Room-temperature eggs whip better than cold eggs. Take them out of the fridge 30 minutes before baking. Warm eggs also make a more stable foam that holds up in the oven.

To assemble

  1. 2
    Add the melted butter and the vanilla.
  2. 3

    Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).
    ⚙ Preheating the OvenOven
    💡Put things in the oven only once it's reached temperature, after the heating light has gone off: an oven that hasn't reached temperature changes baking times, and the bake burns outside or stays underbaked.
  5. 6
    Fill the madeleine pan and bake 12 minutes.
