Print Recipe
Ingredients
Madeleines:
- 1 cup 150g plain all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 2/3 cup 150g caster sugar
- 4 free-range eggs
- 160 gm butter melted
- 2 Tblsp honey
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
Lavender & lemon sugar:
- ¾ cup caster sugar about 180gms
- 2 tsp lavender
- Finely grated rind of a small lemon – about 1 – 1 ½ tsp
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180C / 350F and lightly grease 2 x 12-hole madeleine molds with cooking spray (spray the area in between the indentation in case the batter spills over the edges).
- In a large bowl add the flour, baking powder, eggs, vanilla, honey, and melted butter, and using a whisk mix until you have a smooth batter.
- Scoop out about a dessertspoonful per mold. You want to fill it so that it fills the area to level or just below the level.
- Bake for 8 – 10 minutes until golden brown and firm to the touch.
- While the madeleines are baking make the lavender & lemon sugar by mixing all the ingredients together and either rub between your fingers or pulse in a small food processor to break up the dried flower and allow the lemon zest to fully mix with the sugar.
Notes
Madeleines will last a few days when stored in an air-tight container. They also free well when wrapped.
To thaw, leave them out at room temperature until defrosted.
