these madeleines are so light and airy which is surprising considering they are made with granulated sugar.
this recipe is from the Laduree cookbook and useslemon zest and honey.
i have made madeleines before but they were made differently and did not taste as nice these are so much better. you will never want to use another Madeleine recipe again.
make the cake batter at least 12 hours before and keep in a lidded container in the fridge
recipe
2 lemons
3/4 cups + 1 tbsp granulated sugar (160g)
1 1/3 + 1 tbsp cake flour (175g)
2 tsp baking powder
12 1/2 tbsp butter (180g)
4 eggs
1 2/3 tbsp honey (35g)
using a grater, remove the zest from the lemons, in a large bowl mix the grated zest with the sugar,
in another bowl sift the flour and baking powder together.
in a small pan melt the butter on a low heat.
add the honey in the large bowl with the lemon and sugar, and add the eggs and whip until pale, then sift in the flour and baking powder mixture and fold in, then add the butter mixture and combine.
cover mixture and place in the fridge for at least 12 hours. i made the batter before i went to bed.
the following day
melt 2 tbsp butter and use a pastry brush and butter the moulds, then dust them with flour.
the large moulds are from wholeport.com, the small ones my dad bought me over from France.
preheat the oven to 200c or 390f
refrigerate the moulds for 15 minutes to allow the butter harden,
fill the moulds with batter, 3/4 to the top, and tap them on the work top to bring any bubbles to the top and bake for 5-6 minutes for mini ones or 8-5 minutes for larger ones.
allow to cool slightly before removing from moulds.

These look amazing! I found your recipe next to my link up at The DIY Dreamer party. 🙂
Mmmmmm just perfect for my tea parties. I have made them before – didn't care for them – and sold my madeleine pan…may have to try yours. You are trusted!
I never heard to put ahead in fridge for 12 hours, why is this then?
Thank you!

This is the best recipe ever… Easy to follow instructions.. They turned out moist and lemony. My search for a great madeleine recipe is over:)
- Marie delvecchio says
I am excited to make these but am finding the ingredient amounts hard to follow. What is the butter amount required? Thank you.
- Brianne says
About how many cookies are made from this batch?
- twiggstiudios says
if depends on the size of you madeleine tin I would say about 30
- Annie says
Should the butter be salted or unsalted?
- twiggstiudios says
i normally use unsalted
- Marie says
I use unsalted butter.
- Barbara Long says
I love madeleines but was wondering could I make this in a small Bundt pan following these instructions but just put it in a small Bundt. I think it would make a delicious pound cake.
- twiggstiudios says
hi barbara, i haven’t tried it that way but i think it could work x
