Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 16 Servings

Ingredients

3

/4 cup all-purpose flour

1

/2 teaspoon baking powder

1

/8 teaspoon kosher salt

2

large eggs

1

/3 cup sugar

2

tablespoons orange blossom honey

2

teaspoons vanilla extract

1

/2 teaspoon finely grated orange zest

5

tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, cooled, plus more for molds

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Sift flour, baking powder, and salt into a medium bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat eggs and sugar in a large bowl until pale yellow and thick, about 4 minutes. Beat in honey, vanilla, and orange zest. Gently fold in dry ingredients. Add 5 Tbsp. melted butter; gently fold into batter. Press plastic wrap directly onto surface of batter; chill for at least 3 hours. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep chilled.

    Step 2

    Position a rack in center of oven; preheat to 400°. Lightly brush madeleine molds with butter. Place pan on a baking sheet. Drop 1 scant Tbsp. batter into each mold. Bake until golden and a tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 10 minutes.

    Step 3

    Remove pan from oven, invert, and quickly knock madeleines out of pan. Serve warm on their own or with Ginger-Yogurt Mousse with Pistachio Meringue.
