100g/3½oz butter, melted and cooled slightly, plus extra for

Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6. Brush the madeleine tray with melted
butter then shake in a little flour to coat, tapping out the excess.

Whisk together the eggs and the sugar in a bowl until frothy. Lightly whisk
in the remaining ingredients. Leave to stand for 20 minutes before carefully
pouring into the prepared madeleine tray.
