Madeleines
Madeleines, the delicious little cake so French, that everyone loves, and which, of course, always makes its little nod to Proust and his novel "Du coté de chez Swann".
Small cake that is not so simple to succeed perfectly, that is to say to obtain the small bulging side on the top. But don't worry, you'll find in this recipe all the important points to watch for.

Stage 6 - 1 min.
...until the mixture is homogeneous.
Stage 7 - 2 min.
The madeleine dough is finished, but it is important to let it rest in the cold before using it.
The best way to do this is to pour it into a pastry bag, which is itself placed in a high-sided container.

Stage 8 - 12 hours
Close the piping bag and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, ideally overnight.
Stage 9 - 5 min.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (360°F).
Butter a madeleine tray, then pipe a small pile of dough into each mould.
Don't overfill, otherwise your madeleines will stick together when they are baked, as they will swell up a lot.

Stage 10 - 20 min.
Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes, watching the coloring at the end.
Stage 11
Turn out while still warm and cool on a rack.
Remarks
At step 7 you can also simply put the dough in the bowl in the fridge overnight, then pipe or spoon it the next day.
You don't have to make a hazelnut butter, a simple melted butter will work too, but it won't taste as good.
If you don't have vanilla sugar, replace with the same weight of sugar and a teaspoon of vanilla extract.
