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.

How to glaze a tart
How to glaze a tart
Professional pastrycooks usually say that "a beautiful cake is already half sold", it is one of the reasons why they do not put a tart on sale without glazing it ("abricoter" in Fench), i.e. coating it with a thick apricot syrup. This glaze gives a glossy finish to the tart (see the photographs below) and also protects it from the air and thus from oxidation and browning. It's a quite simple technique that you can easily apply to give to your desserts a professional look. This is how you do it.

  • I just made these - they were easy to make (I used the purchased pistachio paste from King Arthur Flour)...but the pistachio flavor was not as pronounced as I would like....next time I might add a couple of drops of either almond or pistachio extract.
