Time 2h40m

Yield Makes 32 (or 160 mini)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
Coarse salt
6 large eggs, room temperature
1 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons packed light-brown sugar
2 sticks unsalted butter, melted, plus more, softened, for pans
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon honey
3/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • Whisk together flour, baking powder, and 3/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl.
  • Whisk together eggs and granulated and brown sugars with a mixer on high speed until pale and fluffy, about 10 minutes. Sift flour mixture over top in 2 additions, folding in after each addition. Fold in melted butter in 2 additions, then honey and vanilla. Refrigerate, covered, for at least 2 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Let batter stand at room temperature for 10 minutes. Generously butter 2 standard-size or 2 mini nonstick or aluminum madeleine pans using a pastry brush.
  • Transfer batter to a pastry bag, and snip tip to create a 1/2-inch opening. Pipe some batter into molds, filling each about three-quarters full. Bake on middle rack until pale gold, 8 to 11 minutes (6 to 8 minutes for mini madeleines). Immediately shake madeleines out. Wash and rebutter molds. Repeat with remaining batter. Dust baked madeleines with confectioners' sugar.

These madeleines were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I'll try adding a bit more butter next time.

I made these madeleines with almond flour and they turned out great! They were a bit denser than traditional madeleines, but they were still very tasty.

These madeleines were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
