Madeleines without baking powder

Experiment to understand the effect of baking powder.

I weighed one egg (47g) then added an equal amount of caster suger. Gave it a whisk until frothy, added an equal amount of flour and combined. I then left it rest for a while while the (equal quantity) of butter soften on the radiator. I combined the butter and split the mixture into two: to one half I added one gram of baking powder.

Cooked for 8 mins at 200.

The one with baking powder made an extra cake, was better risen and was also better coloured and flavoured.
