Step by step recipe

1	Sieve 200 g icing sugar and 100 g flour into a bowl and mix with a whisk.
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.
