Spanish Lemon and Honey Madeleines
These delicate Spanish-inspired madeleines are infused with bright lemon zest and a hint of honey, offering a delightful treat perfect for an afternoon coffee or tea. Their distinctive shell shape and tender crumb make them a charming dessert.
Let's cook.
In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk 2 large eggs with 1/4 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons honey and 1 teaspoon lemon zest.
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Slowly drizzle in 1/4 cup melted and cooled unsalted butter, folding until fully incorporated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the batter for at least 15 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease and flour a madeleine pan.
Spoon about 1 tablespoon of batter into each cavity of the prepared madeleine pan.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the madeleines spring back when lightly touched.
Carefully remove the madeleines from the pan and let them cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes before serving.
