MADELEINES

Steps:

• Sift flour: Sift the flour and baking powder into a bowl.
• Whisk eggs and sugar: Whisk the eggs and sugar vigorously for 2 minutes until it becomes paler in colour and it's foamy (or 1 minute on speed 6 with handheld beater).
• Mix flour in 3 parts: Add the flour mixture in 3 parts, whisking gently in between until combined.
• Add everything else except butter: Add salt, oil, milk, honey, vanilla and lemon. Mix until combined.
• Add butter: Add butter, mix gently with a rubber spatula until combined. The batter is fairly thin but should leave a faint ribbon briefly on the surface (see video).
• Cover and refrigerate: Cover with plastic wrap touching the surface and leave it in the fridge overnight (minimum 6 hours).

REAL MADELEINES

Steps:

• Combine eggs, sugar, and honey in a large bowl. Whisk gently for 4 to 5 minutes. Avoid whisking too vigorously and do not use high speed if using an electric mixer; the end mixture should be light and frothy.
• Sift flour and baking powder into the egg mixture. Fold in gently until well combined. Add melted butter and salt, stirring well. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill batter in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 460 degrees F (240 degrees C).
• Fill silicone madeleine molds with the batter, filling each 3/4 full.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 1 minute, then reduce the oven temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Bake for 4 minutes, then reduce again to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 5 minutes more.
