Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 3/4 cups All-purpose Flour; 1 teaspoon Baking Powder; 1/2 teaspoons Sea Salt; 2 Large Eggs; 1/3 cups White Sugar; 1 Tablespoon Brown Sugar; 1-1/3 Tablespoon Honey; 1 Tablespoon Lemon Zest; 1 teaspoon Water; 1 Tablespoon Poppy Seeds; 6 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, melted; Icing Sugar, For Dusting

Servings: persons

3/4 cups All-purpose Flour
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
1/2 teaspoons Sea Salt
2 Large Eggs
1/3 cups White Sugar
1 Tablespoon Brown Sugar
1-1/3 Tablespoon Honey
1 Tablespoon Lemon Zest
1 teaspoon Water
1 Tablespoon Poppy Seeds
6 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter, melted
Icing Sugar, For Dusting

1
Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a small bowl.
2
In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, white and brown sugar, honey, lemon zest, water, and poppy seeds until a smooth mixture is produced. Whisk dry ingredients in until just incorporated, and then add melted butter, whisking until mixture is smooth and sticky. Transfer to a plastic bag or a pastry bag (that is, if you're planning to pipe the batter. Otherwise just cover your bowl with cling film), and chill in refrigerator for at least 1 hour, ideally overnight.
3
Preheat oven to 400u00b0F. Lightly coat mini madeleine pan with butter and dust with flour, tapping out any excess. Pipe or spoon (it doesn't affect the shape of the madeleine) batter into pan, filling 2/3 of each madeleine well. Bake for 5 minutes (about 8-10 minutes when using a full-sized madeleine pan), until edges are browned slightly and spring back when pressed lightly.
4
Tap to release the madeleines. Dust with icing sugar. Serve warm.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Taste as you go and adjust the seasoning before serving.
Avoid overcrowding the pan — cook in batches if needed for the best texture.
Let the dish rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors settle.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Swap the honey for maple syrup or agave for a slightly different but equally rich sweetness.
Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
