Madeleine

Hey

My calendar this year is The Great British Bake Off. The great thing about it, is that every month there is a new recipe to try. This month is Honey Madeleines.


It's a very simple recipe.


First whisk together the eggs, sugar, vanilla and honey until it has doubled in volume.


Then, fold in the ground almonds and flour.


Gradually fold in the cooled melted butter until it has completely disappeared.


Spoon the mixture into a Madeleine tin or silicone mould. I had to do mine in batches as my mould only makes 9 at a time (I had 3 batches in total). Only fill the moulds about 3/4 full as they will rise. Scatter a full flaked almonds over each.


Bake in the oven for about 12 minutes before turning out onto a cooling rack. Sprinkle with icing sugar before serving.


These are delicious but due to the size you can't help but have a couple at a time.
