Madeleines

After I received Madeleine pan ordered by Eric, I tried to make some.

I followed the recipe from allrecipes.com .  

Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup butter

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375
2. melt butter
3. mix eggs, vanilla extract, and salt together for 10 min
4. gradually add sugar into the egg mixture and mix for 10 min
5. gradually fold flour into the egg and sugar mixer
6. add butter into egg, sugar, flour mixture and fold until smooth
7. scoop batter into the Madeleine pan 3/4 full
8. bake for 14-17 minutes

I took them out at 14 minutes, but they were burnt!  I tried 2nd batch at 350 and at 14 minutes, still burnt.  I tried 3rd batch at 350 and moving the rack up 1 level and at 13 minutes, but still came out a little dark.  So Eric told me to try 8 minutes.
