Ingredients

For the Madeleines

  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • ⅔ cup (128g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon eggnog
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon rum extract
  • 1 cup (130g) all-purpose flour
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg, freshly grated
  • 1 pinch sea salt

For the Glaze

  • 1 ½ tablespoons eggnog
  • ⅓ cup powdered sugar
  • freshly grated nutmeg and powdered sugar to garnish

Instructions

For the Madeleines

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Melt ½ cup of butter and leave to cool. Butter and flour your madeleine pan. 
  • Combine 2 large eggs with ⅔ cup of sugar in your stand mixer. Beat on medium for a solid 3-5 minutes, until the mixture is light and fluffy. While the eggs and sugar are mixing, combine your dry ingredients in a separate mixing bowl.
  • Stop the mixer and add in the vanilla extract, rum extract and eggnog. Mix to combine. Add your dry ingredients to the eggs and sugar and mix until just combined. Turn your mixer onto low, and slowly pour the melted butter into the flour and egg combination. Mix until the butter is just incorporated and the batter looks uniform.
  • Scoop 1 tablespoon of batter into each mold. There is no need to flatten the batter. 
    Bake at 350° for 8-10 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the middle bounces back when you press on it. 
    Transfer the madeleines to a cooling rack. Cool completely before glazing.

Eggnog Glaze

  • in a small bowl, whisk together the eggnog and powdered sugar until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cool madeleines. Sprinkle with freshly grated nutmeg. 
    Once glazed and sprinkled with nutmeg, allow the glaze set up for 30-40 minutes before dusting with powdered sugar.
  • Madeleines are best enjoyed the day that they are baked but will keep for up to 3 days at room temperature.
    You can also make this batter up ahead of time and leave in the refrigerator for 2-3 days before baking. Bake up fresh madeleines when you need them!
