- Refrigerate the pan with the batter for at least 20 minutes. Preheat the oven to 395 degrees F.

Notes
- To make strawberry puree, simply blend 1 ½ cups of chopped strawberries with 1 tablespoon of sugar. You’re looking for a mixture that is smooth.
- The colder the madeleine batter is, the more likely it is that the madeleines will have a higher “bump”.
- Prepare your madeleine pans by generously buttering the moulds, sprinkling with some flour and shaking off the excess.
- The colour of your madeleines will depend a lot on the strawberries that are available to you. For a deeper red/pink colour, you can add a little red food colour to the batter until you get your desired result.
