Ingredients for Peach and Cream Madeleines

- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar

Ingredients for Sparkling Moscato

Preparation of Peach and Cream Madeleines
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease your madeleine molds or use a non-stick spray. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract, peach puree, and heavy cream, mixing well. Gradually fold in the dry ingredients and melted butter until smooth.
Fill each mold about three-quarters full with the batter. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before removing from the molds. Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the warm or cooled madeleines alongside a chilled glass of sparkling Moscato. Garnish with fresh peach slices for an extra touch of elegance. This pairing creates a light, fruity flavor profile that is perfect for brunches, teatime, or a sophisticated dessert.
