2 eggs
Dash salt
6 rounded tbsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 tsp. rum
1/2 c. flour
1/4 c. butter, melted & cooled

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Beat the eggs with the salt and gradually beat in the sugar. Mixture should form peaks. Add the vanilla and rum. Sift the flour over the mixture. Folding gently as you do so. Add the cooled butter and working quickly, fold this into the flour mixture.

Grease and flour 24 Madeleine tins. (These usually come 12 to a tray, much like muffin tins.)

Fill the Madeleine tins with the batter and place in oven, in lower rack, and bake until lightly brown, about 8 to 10 minutes. Yield: 2 dozen.
