Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Beat eggs with sugar until pale yellow, about 4 minutes. Stir in vanilla.
  2. In medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder and salt. Fold into egg mixture until just combined. Gently stir in 4 tbsp melted butter. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
  3. Preheat oven to 350°F. Melt remaining butter and brush madeleine wells lightly with butter.
  4. Spoon 1 tbsp batter into center of each buttered well. Bake 7 - 9 minutes until just golden brown around the edges. Cool slightly in pan then remove from pan to wire rack to cool completely.
  5. In a microwave safe cup, melt chocolate wafers in microwave. Heat for 10 seconds and stir. Continue at 5 second intervals, stirring after each, until chocolate wafers are melted and smooth.
  6. Working quickly, dip corner of each madeleine into chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Decorate chocolate with sprinkles and place on wire rack to harden.
