  6. Stir the dry ingredients into the egg mixture until just incorporated.

  7. Refrigerate batter for 24 hours.

  8. Fill the madeleine molds two-thirds full with batter.

  9. For best results place molds in the freezer for 15min before baking.

  10. Preheat oven to 350F and bake madeleines until golden, around 12 minutes.
