| Prep: | 5 min |
| Cook: | 15 min |
| Yield: | 10 to 14 madeleines |
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup sugar
- Nice drizzle of honey (1 to 2 teaspoons)
- 2/3 cup flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- Salt
- 1/2 orange, zested
- Special equipment: madeleine mold*
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- To brown the butter, melt the butter over medium heat in a heavy saucepan, allowing to bubble and foam, stirring frequently. Once the foaming subsides, allow the butter to brown along the bottom and then remove the pan from the heat. Browning will take about 5 minutes total; do not burn.
- In a medium bowl, mix the eggs, sugar, and honey with electric mixer until thick and pale. Add the browned butter and mix.
- In a small bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt, and mix into liquid ingredients, along with zest, just until blended.
- Fill the greased madeleine baking molds and bake until golden, 9 to 11 minutes.
- *Cook’s Note: you may substitute a mini-muffin pan for madeleine molds.

Easy and delicious.
Easy and delish!!! Definitely worth making..
Hi I ordered the pans and made this recipe–they tasted awful and they got too browned They are nothing like the picture.
Easy to make and taste great! I will definitely be making these again soon!
Agree- these are not the madeleines I get in Paris. The recipe is not bad, but the name should make it clear they are not authentic. Chuck Williams at Williams Sonoma has the best recipe I’ve ever tried, very authentic….
Delicious and not too sweet!
Really good, simple recipe.. they turned out great! I dipped the ends in dark chocolate and it adds a fun touch for the kids
This recipe hits it right on the screws…easy and really, really good.
I did use mini muffin pans, so they did turn out a little ‘cakey’ in the middle, but nonetheless, great taste and a snap to make.

I loved how easy these were to make. The trouble I had was the temp of 400 degrees for even the 9 minutes rendered burnt bottoms…. adjust temp to 375 and bake for 5-6 minutes.
Easy and tasty!
