• 2: Add 200 g egg white and whisk in.
• 3: Add 100 g Pistachio powder or paste and mix again.
• 4: Pour 200 g Noisette butter into the mixture...
• 5: ...and mix thoroughly.
• 6: Pour the mixture into madeleine moulds and leave to rest for 1 hour in the fridge.
• 7: Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F) and bake the madeleines for 10 to 15 minutes.
  Leave to cool on a wire rack.

Remarks

Use pistachio paste rather than powder, if possible, as the smooth texture helps it to mix easily into the madeleine batter.
These proportions are to make a set number of small madeleines. It will make half the quantity of large madeleines: 60 small madeleines = 30 large.
