100g caster sugar
135g plain flour
1 tsp baking powder

After chilling, switch the batter to a piping bag—pipe a giant blob into the center of each madeleine mold.
Place in the oven and immediately reduce the temperature to 210C (190C fan)/410F/fuel 7. Bake for 10 to twelve mins, or till each madeleine has a humped form and is beginning to shade.
