Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1+1/2 cups all-purpose flour; 1 teaspoon baking powder; 1 teaspoon ground ginger; 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon; 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves; 1/8 teaspoon salt; 1 pinch ground black pepper; 2/3 cup granulated sugar; zest of one orange; 4 large eggs; 4 tablespoons orange blossom honey; 2 teaspoons pure orange extract; 6 ounces unsalted butter (1+1/2 sticks), melted and cooled; powdered sugar for dusting

Servings: persons

1+1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 pinch ground black pepper
2/3 cup granulated sugar
zest of one orange
4 large eggs
4 tablespoons orange blossom honey
2 teaspoons pure orange extract
6 ounces unsalted butter (1+1/2 sticks), melted and cooled
powdered sugar for dusting

1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Butter two madeleine mold pans (the 12 mold ones).
2
Using a wire whisk, combine the flour, baking powder, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, salt, and pepper in a bowl and set aside.
3
Using an electric mixer with the wire attachment, beat the granulated sugar, orange zest, and the eggs on medium speed until thickened, 3-4 minutes. Add the honey and orange extract and continue beating on medium speed an additional minute.
4
Using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, gently fold all of the dry ingredients into the batter. Add the melted butter and continue to fold until the batter is smooth.
5
Spoon the batter into the molds and bake for about 11 minutes or until the madeleines are golden.
6
Immediately transfer the madeleines to a wire rack to cool ever so slightly (they are best eaten warm - just ask Marcel Proust) and dust with powdered sugar.

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.
