tap: Line MN 1021
Accessories: Plastic colander

Method
Preheat the oven to 200 °C.
Grease one or two madeleine moulds.
In a bowl, whisk together the sugar and olive oil.
Then add the eggs and stir well. Add the vanilla extract if you like.
Finally, gently fold in the flour and the baking powder.
Fill the moulds three-quarters full with the batter.
Bake for about 20 to 22 minutes or until the madeleines are firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and allow them to cool.
Repeat as many batches as necessary to use up all the batter.
Meanwhile, toast the almonds in a non-stick frying pan.
Remove from the heat and, when cool, coarsely chop.
Next, melt the white chocolate in a bain-marie.
Finally, dip about half of each madeleine in the chocolate and sprinkle with the chopped almonds.
Tip: you can experiment with this recipe with the flavour of the madeleines by using other nuts in the batter and coating them with dark chocolate, for example!
