Madeleine Cookies

Beat the eggs with sugar — thoroughly and with heart.

Add milk, securing the result with a mixer.

Gradually sift the flour and baking powder into the mixture, beat with a mixer on medium speed until completely smooth.

Pour in the melted but no longer very hot butter — and mix again.

Distribute the batter into molds (it’s convenient to use two teaspoons for this).

Send the future madeleines into the oven preheated to 200°C for about 20 minutes — or more precisely, until done, which is best judged by eye.
