Ingredients

2/3 cup All purpose flour
2 tbsp Cocao powder
1/2 tsp Baking powder
2 Eggs At room temperature
1/2 cup Caster sugar
1 tsp Vanilla extract
1/3 cup Butter, melted and cooled I used salted butter.

Chocolate Dip OPTIONAL

1/3 cup White chocolate, melted
1 tbsp Pistachio, crushed

Instructions

Sift flour, cocoa powder and baking powder together.
Whisk eggs and sugar with an electric hand mixer until pale and thick, aprroximately 3 minutes.
Beat in the vanilla extract. Fold in the sifted dry ingredients. Now gently fold in the melted, cooled butter. Cover the batter and refrigerate for minimum of 3 hours or for up to 2 days.
Preheat oven to 200C. Grease and flour the madeleine molds. If you have a silicone pan, no prep is needed.
Spoon the batter into the molds, about three-quarters of the way. There is no need to level the batter.
Place the pan in the oven and immediately lower the temperature to 180C. Bake for 12 -15 minutes or until they are golden and tops are springy to touch. Mine were ready in 14 minutes.
Turn them out on a cooling rack. Cool to room temperature and sprinkle with icing sugar. Serve immediately.
If you're planning to dip the madeleines, cool them completely. Dip half in melted chocolate, place on a parchment lined tray. Sprinkle with crushed pistachios. Refrigerate until the chocolate sets.
