• Preheat oven to 375. Beat sugar and eggs together until thoroughly blended. Add lemon rind and melted butter. Mix to blend. Sift together dry ingredients. Add all at once to egg mixture. Stir just to blend. Allow mix to sit at room temperature for approximately 10 minutes. While mix is resting, generously butter Madeleine molds. Spoon mix into molds, filling approximately 3/4 full. Bake approximately 15 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Turn over immediately onto cooling screen. Wipe out each mold cavity, rebutter and fill again until desired number or all mix is used. Store in airtight container until ready to use.;

CORN-AND-COUNTRY-HAM MADELEINES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. In a skillet over medium-high heat, heat the oil. Add the ham, corn and garlic and stir until hot, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from the heat and cool.
• Sift the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and 1/2teaspoon salt into a large bowl. Stir in the milk, eggs and butter until a smooth batter is formed. Stir in the ham mixture. Spoon half of the batter into each of the 12 scalloped cups of a greased madeleine pan and smooth the tops. Place in the oven and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 15 minutes. Invert onto a cooling rack. Sprinkle lightly with salt and chili powder. Repeat with the remaining batter. Serve warm. (Reheat the madeleines briefly in a 350-degree oven if necessary.)

CORNMEAL-HONEY MADELEINES

Steps:

• Whisk together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk together sugar and eggs in another medium bowl until pale and thick, about 2 minutes. Whisk in honey. Fold in flour mixture using a rubber spatula. Pour in butter in a slow, steady stream, folding gently to combine. Refrigerate batter for at least 4 hours (or overnight).
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Butter and flour a cast-iron pan, and fill about three-quarters full. Bake until golden around edges (time will vary depending on size of pan). Remove from oven, and immediately transfer madeleines from pan to a wire rack. Let cool. Coat each with glaze, and serve immediately.
