- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk eggs and sugar until pale and slightly thickened.
- Add vanilla, brewed coffee, and espresso powder. Whisk to combine.
- Fold in dry ingredients until just combined. Gently fold in melted butter.
- Cover and chill batter for at least 30 minutes.
- Spoon batter into prepared madeleine molds, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Bake for 12–14 minutes, or until edges are golden and centers spring back. Cool in pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
- For glaze: Whisk powdered sugar, coffee, vanilla, and salt until smooth. Drizzle over cooled madeleines.
