Ingredients

Instructions 

  • Beat eggs with sugar until pale yellow, about 4 minutes. Stir in vanilla.
  • 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.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Melt remaining butter and brush madeleine wells lightly with butter.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
