Madeleine with Honey: Gourmet Recipe

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons honey, for glazing

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a madeleine pan with cooking spray or butter.
2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar until well combined. Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract.
3. In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture, stirring until just combined.
4. Spoon the batter into the prepared madeleine pan and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Remove from the oven and immediately brush the madeleines with honey. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Serving Suggestions

Serve the madeleines with your favorite hot beverage such as coffee, tea, or cocoa. Add a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream for an extra treat.

Verdict

These madeleines are a delightful treat for any occasion. The honey glaze adds a touch of sweetness and complements the buttery flavor of the madeleines. They’re perfect for a brunch, afternoon tea, or dessert.
