Make 24 madeleines
Ingredients:
2 jumbo eggs plus 1 egg yolk
5 oz. sugar
5 oz. all purpose flour (sieved)
5 oz. unsalted butter (melted)
Lemon zest from half a lemon
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon baking powder (add into the sieved flour)
Method:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Grease the madeleine pan with butter.
- Using an electronic hand beater, beat the eggs and sugar until thick and foamy.
- Add lemon juice, lemon zest into the egg mixture and blend well.
- Fold in the flour and use a spatula to mix well.
- Fold in the melted butter, stir and blend until the butter is well incorporated with the batter.
- Transfer the batter into the madeleine pan and fill about 90% of each “hole”. Don’t spread it.
- Bake for 12 minutes or until they turn light brown.
- Remove the madeleine pan from the oven and let cool on a cooling rack.
- You might need to tap the madeleine pan to release the madeleines. Sprinkle with a little bit of powdered sugar before serving.
Cook’s Note:
To make the madeleine extra humpy, chill the batter in the fridge for a couple of hours before baking.

I have long heard about the legendary Mexican coffee bun or Rotiboy, a made-in-Malaysia bun with a crusty coffee topping and butter filling.

These are so cute! I have never tried making madeleines either. I’m not the greatest baker on the planet, so I often leave the trickier recipes to the pros. You have done beautifully with yours and you should be very proud!
These look perfect to me. And beautiful photography once again. I’ll have to try to bake some myself sometime soon.
I am little bit confuse here. You put 2 eggs and extra 1 egg yolk, it mean there are 3 egg yolks in the bowl?
Yes. According the the recipe, it will be 3 egg yolks and 2 egg whites.
Yes, correct, 2 whole eggs + 1 extra egg yolk. :)
great yummy treats! Have got to get the moulds and make some of these!
Those madeleines look good and well done on your first attempt.
Costco…you either love it or hate it… but well done!
I always thought that madeleines look like the Kueh Bu Lu we have in Chinese New Year ;p
Bee! I am so proud of you! You and your awesome baking skills! :D These look delish! And just because you’re so awesome! I’ll try them and tell you how much I enjoyed them! I promise! :) Improvised or not- they look gorgeous!!!
woah,i know these cookies!They are delicious,too bad my baking skills are non existent, i couldn’t even bake a premade lasagna w/out burning it a little lol. I’ll just wait til I make it back out to Cali and we all can enjoy these over a cup of tea.
Cheers and thanks for sharing
Beautiful Madeleines! I’m a huge Costco fan too, and I agree, their Madeleines are quite good. Unfortunately, I can only buy them when I’m going to have guests over, because the portions are so big…
Yes, their madeleines are are quite good, I agree. :)
YUM! my sister and i love the ones from costco, and usually split the box! i still haven’t found a recipe that i like yet, so thanks for sharing!!! they look great!
This is a great recipe, you must try.
great job,,,these look very professional!
Haha, not sure about professional but they are pretty darn good. :)
These look delicious! Have never made them before, but they look do-able. :)
Yes, they are pretty doable. :)
Does it taste like Costco one? I have tried others without success. I will try yours. My kids just love the costco ones.
It’s pretty close, especially the next morning as they become more “solid” in texture. You should try this Madeleine recipe. :)
I just recently got madeleine pans too, and the little cakes are so fun to bake! Can’t wait to use them more this year. Happy New Year!
Hey Bee, Happy New Year and thanks for mentioning me. Your mads look gorgeous. I need to make them again!

looks excellent. we are planning to try it out.
where did you get the madeleine pans from?
It’s stated in da recipe to melt da butter, but wldnt it b like oil?and i have a problem, as i am experiencing winter now, i tried whisking butter, but once i add the eggs in to whisk, da butter is alrdy starting to harden..is there any way to solve this?
yes, the butter will be oily once you melt it. pls go ahead.
mix egg & sugar together (in a blender or electronic egg beater).
Now combine the above to the baking pwdr + flour mix and continue with the main recipe.
wow. these are awesome! :) i was lazy and just used two whole eggs and used lemon extract instead of lemon zest. these turned out AMAZING! the only thing is, has anyone experienced where the madeleines are baking too fast???
mine get dark really quick and I end up baking them for about 6 minutes at 400 degrees instead of the whole 12. they come out done and awesome, so i’m not complaining, just wondering if anyone had that happen to them…
Where can I buy a madeleine pan? Can I buy online?
Thanks for the recipe. Which outlet store in Cali can I find the pan? Love the madeleines sold in Costco. However, prefer to bake my own.
I absolutely love madeleine I actually grab these when I get my starbucks fix. Really need to stop that, but the madeleine encourages me to go there. Definitely going to give this recipe a try because it seems pretty easy and I found the pan. It was in the most random section in a Japanese market. I was looking for these for weeks!
Can someone here help me with oz, what is equipelent to cup.
5 oz. sugar how many cups?
5 oz. all purpose flour (sieved) how many cups?
5 oz. unsalted butter (melted) hw many cups?
Thanks
