Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Duck Fat

    Melt the duck fat in a small saucepan over low heat. Allow it to cool slightly while you prepare the other ingredients.

  2. 2

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Whisk Eggs and Sugar

    In a separate large bowl, whisk the eggs and granulated sugar together until the mixture is pale and thick.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the melted duck fat and vanilla extract to the egg mixture, stirring until combined. Gradually fold in the dry ingredients until just mixed.

  5. 5

    Chill the Batter

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the batter for at least 30 minutes.

  6. 6

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease the madeleine pan with duck fat.

  7. 7

    Bake the Madeleines

    Spoon the chilled batter into the madeleine molds, filling each mold about 3/4 full. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.

  8. 8

    Cool and Dust

    Remove the madeleines from the pan and let them cool on a wire rack. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
