Ingredients:
For the Madeleines:
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
For the Topping:
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate, melted
- Optional: White chocolate and sprinkles for decoration
Instructions:
- Prepare the Batter:
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add vanilla extract and slowly fold in the flour and baking powder until just combined.
- Gently stir in the melted butter until smooth.
- Shape the Madeleines:
- Lightly grease silicone madeleine molds. Spoon the batter into the molds, filling about 3/4 full.
- Cook in the Air Fryer:
- Preheat the air fryer to 320°F (160°C).
- Place the molds in the air fryer basket and cook for 8–10 minutes, or until the madeleines are golden and spring back when touched.
- Allow to cool completely before removing from the molds.
- Dip in Chocolate:
- Melt the dark chocolate in the microwave or over a double boiler. Dip the cooled madeleines halfway into the chocolate and place on a parchment-lined tray.
- Drizzle with melted white chocolate or sprinkle with decorations, if desired.
- Set and Serve:
- Let the chocolate set at room temperature or in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. Arrange on a serving plate and enjoy.
Notes:
- Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Variations: Add lemon zest or almond extract to the batter for a flavor twist.
- Tip: Ensure the butter is slightly cooled before mixing to avoid curdling the batter.
