# What You Need:
→ Madeleines
01 - 7 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing

03 - 7 tablespoons granulated sugar
04 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
05 - 3/4 cup all-purpose flour

→ Decoration
09 - 5 ounces white chocolate, chopped
10 - Mermaid tail-shaped sprinkles or edible glitter

# How To Make It:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Generously butter a madeleine pan and dust with flour, tapping out excess.
02 - Melt butter in a small saucepan, then set aside to cool slightly.
03 - In a medium bowl, beat eggs and sugar with an electric mixer until pale and thick, about 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in vanilla extract.
04 - Sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold into the egg mixture until just combined.
05 - Gradually fold melted butter into batter until smooth.
06 - Divide batter evenly into 3 to 4 small bowls. Tint each portion with different food coloring gels, stirring to achieve pastel shades.
07 - Using a teaspoon, spoon small amounts of each colored batter into the madeleine pan cavities, swirling gently for a marbled effect.
08 - Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until madeleines puff and edges turn golden. Cool in pan for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
09 - Melt white chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pan of gently simmering water.
10 - Dip tips of cooled madeleines into melted white chocolate, then immediately sprinkle with mermaid tail sprinkles, edible glitter, and sugar pearls. Place on parchment paper to set.
