Madeleines

While standing in front of the register at Starbucks, i noticed a package of delicious madeleines.
I purchased them and my appetite for this delicious French snack almost vanished at first bite.
Too soft and doughy, too processed and too sweet.
This bothered me all day and doop de do, off I go to make my first madeleines!
I purchased this Martha Stewart mold at Macy's Only $ 14.99.

Now, off to some fun.

Ingredients
3 large eggs
1 1/3 Cup of flour
1 stick of melted unsalted butter
1 1/4  cup of sugar
1/8 cup of local honey
pinch of salt
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp lemon zest
2 tbsp orange blossom water (optional)

Whisk the sugar, honey, salt and 3 eggs together until light and fluffy.

 Sift flour and the baking powder together, then gradually fold in the egg mixture and mix together gently.
Add melted butter, orange blossom water and lemon zest, stir lightly, cover and place in refrigerator at least 2 hours or even overnight. This step is super important, the batter MUST be cold before baking so that
you get nice BUMPY madeleines.

Preheat oven to 350°

Butter and dust the mold with flour.
Add 1spoonful of cold batter into the molds.
Bake for 12-15minutes.

Use a butter knife to gently lift the madeleines off the molds and dust with powdered
sugar if desired.
