Chill the batter

Once you’re done making the batter, there is a well-kept secret that pretty much guarantees the most delicious madeleines ever.

Let your batter rest in the fridge, preferably overnight.

You can even fill the mold with the batter and put it directly in the fridge – then when you wake up the next morning, pop them in the oven and your home will soon smell as heavenly as a French bakery on a Sunday in spring!
