Easy Madeleine Recipe Mary Berry: A Sweet and Simple Delight

These madeleines are light, fluffy, and packed with flavor. It’s a classic treat, perfect for an afternoon tea or a sweet snack.

Madeleine recipes are always fun to bake, and I love this version from Mary Berry! It’s simple, quick, and the end result is always satisfying. The madeleine recipe Mary Berry uses combines delicate flavors with a moist texture, making each bite irresistible. You can’t go wrong with these little buttery delights. Let me share with you how I make them.

Ingredients

• ½ cup (115g) all-purpose flour
• ½ cup (115g) salted butter, softened
• 2 extra-large eggs
• 2 teaspoons baking powder
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup (115g) sugar
• 5 maraschino cherries, halved
• 2–3 drops vanilla extract
• ½ cup (55g) shredded coconut
• 4 tablespoons raspberry or strawberry jam

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your madeleine pan with a bit of butter. You can also lightly dust it with flour if you like.
2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until the mixture is light and fluffy. This might take about 3-4 minutes with an electric whisk.
3. Melt the butter in a microwave or on the stove and let it cool for a bit. Once cooled, mix it into the egg and sugar mixture, along with the vanilla extract.
4. In a separate bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until everything is combined. Be gentle to avoid losing the air in the batter.

5. Spoon the batter into the madeleine pan, filling each mold about halfway. You don’t need to overfill as they’ll puff up nicely.
6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the madeleines are golden brown and they spring back when gently pressed.
7. While the madeleines are baking, heat the jam in a small saucepan until it becomes slightly runny.
8. When the madeleines are out of the oven and slightly cooled, glaze each one with the warm jam. Then, place a half cherry on top of each madeleine and sprinkle a little shredded coconut over them.
9. Let them set for a few minutes before serving.

How to Store Madeleines Properly for Freshness

To store your madeleines, follow these simple steps:

1. Cool completely: Let the madeleines cool down completely before storing them to prevent moisture buildup.
2. Airtight container: Place the madeleines in an airtight container to keep them fresh. You can line the container with parchment paper to help absorb any excess moisture.
3. Room temperature: Store them at room temperature for up to 3 days.
4. Freezing: If you want to store them for longer, freeze the madeleines. Wrap them in plastic wrap or place them in a freezer-safe bag and freeze for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to enjoy them, simply thaw at room temperature.

This way, your madeleines will stay fresh and delicious!
