Add the melted butter and fold through. Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes to firm up the batter.Preheat the oven at 200 degree centigrade.Use some more butter to butter up the moulds to prevent the Madeleines from sticking to the moulds.Spoon and spread the batter into the moulds up the 2/3 depth to allow room for the batter to rise.Bake for 6-10 minutes or until the batter has risen or a skewer inserted into the cake comes out clean. Monitor so that you don't overbake and burn the Madeleines.Remove from the oven when baked to a light golden brown. Allow to cool down before carefully tipping off from the moulds by turning upside down. Sometimes you need to carefully ease the Madeleines off the moulds.Enjoy and perfect with a cup of tea or coffee. Best to eat on the same day.
