🛒 Ingredients

✓ 50g unsalted butter, melted
✓ 50g plain Greek yogurt (0% fat)
✓ 1 large egg
✓ 3 tbsp egg white
✓ 60g caster sugar
✓ 1 tsp pandan extract
✓ 1 tsp vanilla extract
✓ 65g plain flour
✓ 1/2 tsp baking powder
✓ Pinch of sea salt
✓ 2 tsp honey or maple syrup
✓ 1/2 tsp pandan extract (optional, for glaze)
✓ 2 tbsp icing sugar
✓ 1 tbsp warm water

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Preheat & Prepare: Preheat oven to 200°C (390°F). Lightly spray a mini madeleine tin (12-cavity) with non-stick cooking spray. Pat dry with paper towel to prevent sticking.

2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter and Greek yogurt until smooth. Add whole egg and egg white, whisking until fully incorporated. Stir in both pandan and vanilla extracts.

3. Blend Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and sea salt. Mix well to aerate and remove lumps.

4. Create the Batter: Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Fold gently with a spatula until just combined—do not overmix. The batter should be smooth but still light, with a few small flour streaks acceptable.

5. Fill Moulds: Transfer batter to a piping bag fitted with a round 5mm nozzle. Pipe into madeleine cavities, filling each three-quarters full. Smooth tops with a wet finger if needed.

6. Bake Until Golden: Bake for 11–12 minutes until madeleines are golden at edges and a skewer inserted into the thickest cake comes out clean. Tops should spring back when gently pressed.

7. Cool & Release: Allow madeleines to cool in tin for 3 minutes. Gently run a small offset spatula around each edge, then invert tin onto a wire rack. Cool completely before glazing.

8. Make Quick Glaze: Whisk icing sugar with warm water until smooth and thin. Optional: add 1/2 tsp pandan extract for extra fragrance. Dip one flat side of each madeleine into glaze or brush lightly.
