Honey madeleines.

I baked them this evening as a treat for doing a good job painting the front door. Found the recipe yesterday while flipping through the old “Good Food” mags.  As always, when using the recipe for the first time, I actually followed it…(!) 🙂

I whisked 2 large eggs with 110 g of caster sugar, added 70 g plain flour, a generous tsp of baking powder, 50 g of ground hazelnuts, a tbsp of honey and lots of cinnamon. Then the zest of one orange and 100 g of melted and cooled butter. The whole mixture went to the fridge for an hour and then the little delights got baked for about 15 minutes in 180 degrees. When done, I finished them off with icing sugar. They’re lovely and light, but the top is ever so slightly crunchy. Very, very nice indeed.
