Nutella Madeleine Volcanoes

Directions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.Grease and flour a madeleine or little muffin pan thoroughly. I normally use that Wilton baking liquid but you can kind of taste it with madeleines, so splurge and grease with some softened butter.In a stand mixer, beat the eggs, sugar and salt for 8 to 10 minutes. They should be thick and pale yellow.
2. 2
   Add the vanilla.Fold in the flour gently with a rubber spatula.Now fold in the butter, still gently, making sure none of it settles at the bottom.Spoon batter into the mini muffin pan, about 2/3 full in each hole.
3. 3
   Add a heaping tablespoon of Nutella in the middle of each batter mound.
4. 4
   Bake for about 10 minutes, until golden brown.Cool on drying rack for 15-20 minutes. Invert onto a serving plate so the Nutella is on top. Dust with confectioner’s sugar before serving. These are delicious hot or cold. Keeps in a tightly closed tuperware for a few days.
