1.Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan-forced). Grease two 12-hole (1½-tablespoon/30ml) madeleine pans.
2.Beat eggs and sifted sugars in small bowl with electric mixer until thick and creamy.
3.Meanwhile, triple-sift flours; sift flour over egg mixture. Pour combined butter and the water down side of bowl then fold ingredients together. Drop rounded tablespoons of mixture into each pan hole.
