# What you'll need:
→ Madeleines
01 - 7 tbsp unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing
02 - 2 large eggs
03 - 7 tbsp granulated sugar
04 - 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
05 - 7/8 cup all-purpose flour
06 - 1/2 tsp baking powder
07 - Pinch of fine sea salt
08 - Food coloring gels (pastel blue, purple, pink, green)
→ Decoration
09 - 5 oz white chocolate, chopped
10 - Mermaid tail-shaped sprinkles or edible glitter
11 - Assorted sugar pearls
# Method:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Generously grease the madeleine pan with butter and dust with flour, tapping out excess.
02 - Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat, then set aside to cool slightly.
03 - Using an electric mixer, beat eggs and sugar until pale and thick, about 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in vanilla extract.
04 - Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold into the egg mixture until just combined.
05 - Fold the melted butter gently into the batter until smooth.
06 - Divide batter equally into 3 to 4 small bowls. Tint each with different pastel food coloring gels, mixing until blended.
07 - Using a teaspoon, spoon small amounts of each colored batter into pan cavities, swirling to create marbled patterns.
08 - Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until puffed and golden on edges. Let cool in pan for 2 minutes, then transfer to wire rack.
09 - Melt white chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water until smooth.
10 - Dip each madeleine tip into melted white chocolate, then immediately garnish with mermaid tail sprinkles, edible glitter, and sugar pearls. Place on parchment to set.
