Delicious Gluten-Free Madeleines

Madeleines are known for their lovely shell shape and delicate texture. With this gluten-free recipe, you can indulge without worry. Let’s start with the ingredients you’ll need:

Gluten-Free Madeleines ### Ingredients

½ cup unsalted butter, melted
1 cup almond flour
½ cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
¾ cup granulated sugar
3 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp lemon zest (optional)
1 tsp baking powder
Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease your madeleine pan with butter or cooking spray.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the melted butter, granulated sugar, and eggs until well combined. This mixture should become creamy and light.
Add the vanilla extract and lemon zest (if using) to the egg mixture. Stir until incorporated.
In a separate bowl, combine the almond flour, gluten-free all-purpose flour, and baking powder. Gently fold this dry mixture into the wet ingredients until there are no dry streaks.
Allow the batter to rest for about 5 minutes while the oven heats up. This step helps achieve that perfect texture.
Spoon the batter into the madeleine pan, filling each mold about ¾ full to allow for rising.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the middle springs back when gently pressed.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the madeleines cool for a couple of minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
Once cooled, dust your madeleines with powdered sugar for a nice finishing touch.

These Gluten-Free Madeleines are best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for a couple of days. Enjoy your delightful treats with a cup of tea or coffee, and share them with friends and family for a memorable experience!
