Lime honey madeleines

Makes 12 madeleines – i got 15 small + 5 large ones

ingredients

100g unsalted butter
100g all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 eggs
60g sugar
30g honey – I used orange blossom honey
2 tablespoons lime juice
pinch of grated lime zest – this is optional; I’m a citrus sucker so I used the grated zest of 1 large lime

1
Brush molds with melted butter and sprinkle with flour to coat; tap the pans to remove excess flour.
2
Sift together flour and baking powder into a bowl.
3
In another bowl, whisk eggs and sugar until well combined. Add the juice, zest and the flour mixture. Mix only until flour is incorporated.
4
Melt butter and honey in the microwave oven or in a small bowl over lightly simmering water – I did this step before starting the recipe itself and set the liquid aside to cool a bit.
5
Add melted butter + honey to batter and mix well.
6
Cover the bowl with plastic or cling film and place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour – I left it overnight.
7
Preheat the oven to 180°C/355°F. Pour batter onto prepared pans – it’s not necessary to level it up, since the batter will spread in the oven.
8
Bake for 20 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the cakes comes out clean.
