Orange Madeleines
Immediately, I thought to dip my orange madeleines into chocolate. It was a wonderful thought. The chocolate compliments the orange flavor wonderfully. Wesley must have thought it was pretty wonderful too, since they were gone pretty quickly. I think he favors anything that resembles cookies. They're quick and delicious with his favorite beverage, milk.
Just a tip, if you decide to make madeleines, make sure you tap the pan after you put the batter in the molds. I hadn't read anything about this, but quickly realized I should have done it when my madeleines had tons of little air pocket holes in them. The next batch I made sure I tapped out all the air pockets before I baked them. They turned out perfectly smooth.
Orange Madeleines
Ingredients
Cookie
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4 large eggs room temperature
- 2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup butter melted
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- ½ cup orange juice
- 1 tsp. orange zest
- dash of salt
Garnish
- 1 cup coating chocolate
- 2 teaspoon . shortening , butter flavored
Instructions
Cookie
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. If you have a nonstick madeleine pan, I wouldn't worry about spraying any nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, add sugar and eggs.
- Mix with a hand mixer on medium until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. It will become really thick and pale yellow.
- Add flour, butter, salt, orange juice and zest into the wet mixture. Mix on low so the flour doesn't go all over.
- Pour the batter into a ziploc bag or disposable piping bag for easier pouring.
- Carefully pour into the molds and tap on the counter to get the air bubbles out.
- Bake about 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Garnish
- Place the coating chocolates and shortening into a microwavable bowl.
- Place in the microwave and heat in 30 second intervals.
- Once completely melted, dip the cooled madeleines in and place on a cooling rack to dry.

I hope you enjoy the orange madeleines!
These are gorgeous! I love orange & chocolate together.
Will this work in my non-stick 24-mini-muffin pan? I don't have a madeleine pan.
Yes, I think a mini muffin pan would would just fine! Thank you for commenting 😀
I recently bought a Madeleines pan too and yet to use it, I think I will have to try these as I love all citrus flavours in cake as it helps cut through all the sweetness for me. Thanks for sharing they look lovely 🙂
I love the sound of chocolate and orange madeleines, these look gorgeous!
They are so good!
