Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, plus more for pan
  • 1 tablespoon good-quality honey
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup confectioners’ sugar
  • 1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest, plus 2 tablespoons strained orange juice

Directions

Brush molds of a madeleine pan with butter; set aside. Make the batter: Melt butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Remove from heat, and stir in honey and vanilla. Let cool 10 minutes.

Whisk flour, baking powder, cardamom, and salt in a small bowl; set aside.

Preheat oven to 325, with rack in center. Stir together sugar and eggs in a medium bowl. Gently fold in flour mixture until combined. Add butter mixture, and fold until combined. Cover with plasticwrap, and refrigerate 30 minutes.

Spoon batter into prepared pan, filling each mold halfway. Tap pan on work surface to eliminate air bubbles. Bake until cookies are puffed and edges are golden, 7 to 8 minutes. Transfer pan to a wirerack; let cool slightly. Unmold cookies onto rack, and let cool completely.

Make the orange glaze: Stir together sugar and orange zest and juice in a small bowl until glaze is smooth, thick, and opaque. Using a small pastry brush, coat ridged side of each cookie with glaze. Let set 15 minutes. Cookies can be stored in a single layer in an airtight container up to 3 days.

                There are 2 sized madeleine pans. If you are using the small size you will get 24. If you are using the large size you will get 12.  The large size cake is like 3.5".  
                
                They are very tasty!

                I bet there are several ways to make this without a madeleine pan-wee little cupcake pan, partially filled regular muffin tin, etc. But come on! It's a madeleine pan, it's all the fun foodie sort of thing, it's *Proustian*. Who wants to have some sort of mini-muffin when you can channel the musty, fusty atmosphere of a bygone age. Just buy the damn pan;-). Andrea

                Tasty!
                Loved it better with the orange glaze on top.
                My recipe only yielded 12 Madeleines.
                :)

                I would really like to try this recipe but do not have the proper
                pan to bake these little treats in.  Can anyone tell me if there is some other way to make these cookies without buying yet another kitchen item?  Thanks for any help out there.

                These came out perfect! Be careful not to overbake them. They literally take 8 minutes. I added orange zest to the batter and used fresh cardamom from a pod. Really yummy and moist!

                I absolutely loved the flavors, but felt that the butter/flour ratio was a little off.  Mine turned out a little too dry for what I expect in a madeleine.

                OH MY GOD! These cookies are like little heavenly cakes!! You will eat five in a row, alone, when no one is looking...... double the recipe! They are pretty easy to make, you don't even need a mixer.  I didn't even have the orange zest, I improvised with some lemon and orange essence instead and it was fabulous. 
                
                Once you put that light glaze on them, let them sit and it becomes the most decadent little treat!!
