Total Time2 hours 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 7 tbsp (100 gr) unsalted butter, melted, at 40-50°C
  • 2 (100 gr) eggs, room temperature
  • 7 tbsp (90 gr) castor sugar
  • 1/2 tbsp (10 gr) honey, optional
  • 11 tbsp (85 gr) cake flour
  • 3 tbsp (25 gr) black sesame powder
  • 1 tsp (4 gr) baking powder
  • 3 oz (85 gr) white chocolate, melted
  • Roasted black sesame seeds

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, add eggs, castor sugar, and honey. Using a whisk, mix them lightly for 3-4 minutes or until the sugar is dissolved.
  • Sift in cake flour, black sesame powder, and baking powder. Whisk until well combined.
  • Add melted butter and whisk until well incorporated.
  • Cover the bowl with a plastic wrap and chill the batter for at least 1 hour or overnight.
  • When you are ready to bake, preheat the oven to 400℉/200℃. Grease a non-stick madeleine pan with butter. If you are not using a non-stick pan, grease the pan with butter and dust the wells with flour lightly.
  • Remove the batter from the fridge. Using a spatula, mix to loosen the batter and remove the air bubbles.
  • Transfer the batter into a piping bag and pipe the batter into the molds until 80-90% full. You can also alternatively spoon the batter into the molds.
  • Place the filled madeleine pan into the preheated oven and immediately reduce the oven temperature to 350℉/180℃. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until they have risen and golden brown.
  • Remove madeleines from the pan immediately. Cool completely.
  • Spoon the melted white chocolate over half of the hump side diagonally. Shake off the excess chocolate. Place the madeleines with the hump sides up. Sprinkle with roasted black sesame seeds.
  • Let the chocolate set.
