Indispensable : Lemon Madeleines

Ingredients (yields 24 large madeleines or 96 mini madeleines)

• 125 gr melted brown butter
• 3 eggs
• 130 gr sugar
• 1 TBS honey
• 150 gr flour
• 3 gr baking powder
• Zest of 1 organic lemon

Procedure

• Using a kitchen aid robot, whisk eggs, sugar, honey and a pinch of salt until white pale
• Add flour, baking powder, lemon zest and finally slowly incorporate the lukewarm butter
• If using a metallic mold, brush with melted butter
• Pipe in the dough forming a small ball shape at the base of each indentation of the mould (it will help the Madeleine to form its typical belly while baking and rising). You can also use a spoon and your thumb to distribute the dough
• Bake at the last minute at 325 F./160 C. until golden brown (7-8 mn for mini-madeleines).
• Unmould and serve right away
