HONEY AND ORANGE MADELEINES
Recipe from Australian Better Homes and Gardens magazine. I recently made French Tart's Madeleines and totally enjoyed them. I haven't tried this recipe yet.....but posting for safe keeping. I made FT's gluten-free and they were wonderful. I'm hoping to try this recipe soon. You will need a madeleine mould or two for this recipe The article stated that madeleines are traditional French cakes that are cooked in shell-shaped moulds. They were named after a French pastrycook, Madeleine Paulmier, in the 19th cetury. They quickly became popular and are still regularly served as morning or afternoon tea in France. Moulds should be greased and then dusted with either with a fine layer of sugar or flour

Steps:
- Butter and flour madeleine molds thoroughly. Set aside. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Melt butter and let cool.
- Beat together eggs, salt, and sugar until very light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla and orange-flower water. Fold in flour, then the melted butter and orange zest.
- Pour batter into molds almost to the top. Bake for 10 minutes, or until cakes are firm in the center. Let cool for 1 minute in molds, then turn out onto racks.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. The quality of your ingredients will directly impact the taste of your madeleines. Use fresh, unsalted butter, large eggs, and good-quality honey and orange zest.
- Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the batter, resulting in a lighter, more tender madeleine.
- Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough, dense madeleines.
- Refrigerate the batter for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help to develop the flavor and texture of the madeleines.
- Preheat your oven before baking. This will help to ensure that the madeleines bake evenly.
- Bake the madeleines until they are golden brown and spring back when touched. Overbaking will result in dry, crumbly madeleines.
- Serve the madeleines warm or at room temperature. They can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
