Calories: 102kcal
Equipment
- 1 mixing bowl
- 1 Whisk
Ingredients
- 3 eggs medium size
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup all purpose flour
- 1 stick butter melted and cooled
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ⅔ cup chorizo shredded
- ½ cup parmesan shredded
- pepper optional
Instructions
- Melt the butter and side aside to cool down.
- In a bowl, mix the eggs and salt (and pepper).
- Sift the flour and baking powder and make sure there are no lumps. Add the butter. Mix well.
- Shred chorizo using a cheese grater and add to batter. Mix and add parmesan.
- Allow the preparation to rest in the fridge for 30 min to an hour.
- Preheat the oven at 420F.
- Put one tablespoon of the mixture in each madeleine mold and place in the oven at 420F (220C) for 6 minutes and drop the temperature to 350F (180C) and bake another 6 minutes.
- Take out of the oven and allow to cool.
Notes
- Do not skip chilling the batter in the fridge. The changes of temperature create a choc and this is how you obtain the famous hump.
- You can skip the parmesan if you wish, it is as delicious without it.
- Allowing the butter to cool down prevents the batter to 'precook' (if the butter was really hot).
