HONEY AND ORANGE MADELEINES



Honey and Orange Madeleines image

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

HONEY-ORANGE MADELEINES

Categories     Cookies     Mixer     Egg     Dessert     Bake     Kid-Friendly     Orange     Bon Appétit     Kidney Friendly     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free     Kosher     Small Plates

Yield Makes about 18

Number Of Ingredients 10

Melted butter
2 large eggs
1/3 cup honey
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons grated orange peel
1/2 teaspoon orange flower water
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all purpose flour
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted, room temperature
Sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Brush madeleine mold with melted butter; dust with flour. Combine eggs, honey, 1/4 cup sugar and grated orange peel in bowl of electric mixer. Set over saucepan of simmering water (do not let bowl touch water); stir just until lukewarm, about 2 minutes. Remove from over water and beat with electric mixer until pale yellow and tripled in volume, about 12 minutes. Add orange flower water and vanilla extract. On low speed, gradually mix in flour, scraping bowl occasionally. Transfer 1/3 of batter to medium bowl. Gradually fold 3/4 cup melted butter into batter in medium bowl (do not fold in water at bottom of butter). Gently fold mixture into remaining batter (batter will thicken slightly).
  • Spoon batter into madeleine mold, filling almost to top. Bake until cookies are springy to touch, turning pan half-way through cooking, about 10 minutes. Invert pan onto rack. Gently pry out cookies with knife tip. Sprinkle cookies with sugar. Wipe out molds, brush with melted butter, dust with flour and repeat with remaining batter. Cool completely on rack. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Store in airtight container at room temperature.)

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients. This will help the batter come together smoothly and prevent curdling.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the madeleines tough.
  • Let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will allow the flavors to develop and the batter to thicken slightly.
  • Use a madeleine pan that has been greased and floured. This will help the madeleines release easily from the pan.
  • Bake the madeleines until they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the madeleines cool slightly before serving. This will help them hold their shape.

Conclusion:

Honey and orange madeleines are a delicious and elegant treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With their delicate flavor and moist texture, these madeleines are sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
