Yield Makes 2 1/2 cups batter, enough for about 12 small cakes (about 2 1/2 inches in diameter)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for pan
1/2 cup fine yellow cornmeal, preferably stone-ground
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup sugar
4 large eggs
2 tablespoons honey
6 ounces (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus more for pan
Orange Glaze

Steps:

  • Whisk together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk together sugar and eggs in another medium bowl until pale and thick, about 2 minutes. Whisk in honey. Fold in flour mixture using a rubber spatula. Pour in butter in a slow, steady stream, folding gently to combine. Refrigerate batter for at least 4 hours (or overnight).
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Butter and flour a cast-iron pan, and fill about three-quarters full. Bake until golden around edges (time will vary depending on size of pan). Remove from oven, and immediately transfer madeleines from pan to a wire rack. Let cool. Coat each with glaze, and serve immediately.

I'm having trouble getting my madeleines to rise. I've tried everything, but they just come out flat. Any suggestions?

These madeleines are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of honey next time.

I'm not a big fan of cornmeal, but I really enjoyed these madeleines. The honey and cinnamon helped to balance out the cornmeal flavor.

These madeleines are a great way to use up leftover cornmeal. They're also a fun and easy treat to make with kids.

These madeleines are delicious! The cornmeal gives them a nice crunch and the honey adds a touch of sweetness. I'll definitely be making these again.

I was a little skeptical about using cornmeal in madeleines, but I'm so glad I tried it! The cornmeal adds a lovely texture and flavor. These are the best madeleines I've ever had.

I'm not usually a fan of madeleines, but these were surprisingly good. The cornmeal gave them a nice crunch and the honey added a touch of sweetness. I'll definitely be making these again.

These madeleines were a hit with my family! They're light and fluffy, with a crispy exterior and a tender crumb. The cornmeal adds a lovely texture and flavor. I'll definitely be making these again.
