Ingredients needed to make the best madeleine recipe

Eggs: Eggs impart madeleine's distinct taste. Therefore, use quality eggs.

Butter and vegetable oil: Butter and oil contribute to the softness factor of madeleines. Only using vegetable oil is not recommended. The combination of butter and oil was tested to yield perfect madeleines.

Sugar: Use white granulated sugar, not brown sugar, for the best texture and taste.

Honey: Any honey can be used.

Lemon, vanilla: To flavor madeleines.

Salt: Adds more complexity to the already sweet taste of madeleines.

How to store madeleines?

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days to prevent madeleines from drying over time.
