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

These were a bit dry. I think I should have baked them for a shorter amount of time.

I had some trouble getting the madeleines to rise properly. I think I might have overmixed the batter.

These were so easy to make and they turned out so well! I didn't have any orange extract on hand, so I used lemon extract instead. They were still delicious.

I followed the recipe exactly and the madeleines turned out perfectly. They were golden brown and had a lovely rise. The honey and orange flavor was subtle but present.
