- Comments()
- Yield Makes 20
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted and room temperature
- 1 tablespoon rose water
- 2 to 3 tablespoons sanding sugar
- Pink powdered food color, any shade
- Butter-flavored cooking spray
Directions
-
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
-
In electric mixer, beat eggs and 1/2 cup granulated sugar on medium until light, 3 to 4 minutes. Beat in vanilla. Fold in flour mixture. Fold in butter. Cover with plastic; chill for 30 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, heat oven to 425 degrees.place rack in center. Spray two scallop-shell pans with cooking spray. Use spoon to fill molds three-quarters full. Bake 5 minutes. Reduce heat to 400 degrees. Bake 5 to 8 minutes more, until lightly golden. Immediately tap out madeleines onto a cooling rack. (Let madeleines cool scallop side up to avoid any creases or lines from rack.) Repeat with remaining batter. Let cool.
-
Make rose-water syrup by combining remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar with 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar; reduce to a simmer, and cook over low heat 2 to 3 minutes to combine. Set aside to cool. When cool, stir in rose water. Set aside.
-
Place sanding sugar in a small bowl. Use a toothpick to add small amounts of powdered food color to sanding sugar, stirring until you get desired shade of pink.
-
Use a small paint brush to sugar edges of madeleines one at a time; dip brush into rose-water syrup, and paint rim of each madeleine. Sprinkle sanding sugar over damp edges. Repeat on remaining madeleines. Madeleines are best served within 1 to 2 days of baking. Store in airtight container at room temperature.

Answer to Gramboo -- Homemade Rosewater ?
Where can I find this type of pan?
What is Rose Water ?
Another place where you can find rose water is in Arab/Middle Eastern and Indian groceries.
Since none of you have mentioned the results of making these cookies, I
need to know if anyone thinks that 3/4 cup of flour is enough. Lately
some of the recipes are low in flour requirements...acouple of
recipes definitely needed more flour...I think that quality control
needs to improve. mykele
I still have my grandmother's round shell pan from the 1940s!
They look so beautiful and elegant!
You will find the round shell pan at fantes.com for $7.99
Does anyone know where I can find this pan? I am only finding the short version of the traditional one and it's not as cute as the round one. Please email me at bt615@yahoo.com with Madeleine Pan in the subject line.

You can find rose blossom water or orange blossom water at King Arthur Flour website.
I found it at Whole Foods and it was much less expensive than I anticipated...about $3 for 4 oz. Look for it in the specialty baking/sugar section.
