How to Make Honey And Orange Madeleines

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Grease and flour two madeleine molds. (Alternatively, you can grease them and dust with sugar)
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey, orange zest, and orange juice.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, and salt) to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the honey-orange mixture until just combined.
  7. Fill each madeleine mold about ¾ full.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and springy to the touch.
  9. Let the madeleines cool in the molds for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
