Ingredients
- 7 oz butter (unsalted, melted and cooled, and extra to brush molds)
- 1 ⅔ cups flour (all-purpose)
- 1 Tbsp baking powder
- 2 tsp lemon zest finely grated, fresh
- 1 vanilla bean (halved lengthwise-see notes)
- ¾ cup sugar
- 3 egg large, room temperature
- ¼ cup milk whole
- 1 ½ Tbsp honey (mild)
Instructions
- Place oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat to 350°F (175°C).
- Brush molds with melted butter.
- Sift together flour and baking powder into large bowl, then whisk in lemon zest.
- Scrape seeds from vanilla bean with a tip of a paring knife, into a smaller bowl (save pod for another use) then add sugar and rub together until vanilla is well dispersed.
- Whisk in eggs, milk, honey and melted butter, then fold into flour mixture, until just combined.
- Place a rounded tablespoon of batter into each mold, filling about ⅔ full.
- Bake on bottom rack for about 5 minutes, then rotate tray 180° and move to top rack for another 5 to 6 minutes, or until golden brown around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and take pastries from the tray. TIP: if the Madeleines don't come out easily, use a butter knife or small wooden tool to help remove them from the molds. (If you re-use the molds right away, make sure to wash them well, and brush with butter again.)
- Place on cooling rack and serve as is, slightly warm, or add a light dusting of powdered sugar when cool.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- You can use 1/4 tsp vanilla bean powder or 1/2 tsp extract in place of vanilla bean, but the flavor won't be as intense
