Preparation – 10 minutes

Melt the butter in the small saucepan. Combine the eggs and sugar until you've reached a smooth mixture. Combine flour, baking powder and cocoa powder and sieve them into the egg mixture.

The batter will now be done. Pour the batter into a piping-bag and place in the fridge until it's completely cooled off.

Finishing the chocolate madeleines – 20 minutes

Pre-heat the oven to 210 degrees celsius or 410 degrees fahrenheit and coat the madeleine pans with butter.

Fill the pans for about 2/3rd with the batter, not too much because the madeleines will rise in the oven. If you also only have 1 madeleine pan, you'll need to bake them in batches.

Bake the madeleines for about 10 minutes, check with a wooden skewer if they're done. Let them cool off on the cooling rack while you melt the chocolate for dipping.

Create a bain marie by adding a layer of water to the pan and place a bowl on top. Make sure the water won't touch the bowl, the steam will melt the chocolate inside the bowl.
