Preheat a fan-assisted oven at 230°C (gas 8), then reduce the temperature to 200°C (gas 6) and bake for about 20 or 25 minutes. The madeleine should be puffed and golden. Insert the blade of a knife inside the cake to check if it's cooked. The blade should be dry when you take it out.

When cooked, remove from the oven and let cool a little before releasing the madeleine from the mould.
