Traditional French Madeleines

There’s the quick story on this delicate pastry and how it became so emblematic of French pastry: In 1755, King Stanislaus of Poland back was hosting Voltaire and several other important people, so he asked his pastry chef, Madeleine, to bake something special.

Step 1

In a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, combine the granulated sugar, eggs, honey, lemon zest, and vanilla. Whisk for about 10 minutes until the mixture is thickened and doubled in size. This is the most important part of the recipe. The eggs should be almost at the ribbon stage.

When it calls for 100 grams of eggs, and assuming I have more than that (say 110g), what would I remove to get back to 100g? Should it just be whites, because that's easiest? Should I do an even amount of yolk and white?

Great question what we were taught in culinary school is whisk together the last egg and then weigh out the remaining amount this way you ll get even distribution of yolk and white. This is especially important for things like pate a choux.
