Brown Butter Madeleines
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup sugar
- Nice drizzle of honey (1 to 2 teaspoons)
- 2/3 cup flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- Salt
- 1/2 orange, zested
- Special equipment: madeleine mold*
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- To brown the butter, melt the butter over medium heat in a heavy saucepan, allowing to bubble and foam, stirring frequently.
- Once the foaming subsides, allow the butter to brown along the bottom and then remove the pan from the heat.
- Browning will take about 5 minutes total; do not burn.
- In a medium bowl, mix the eggs, sugar, and honey with electric mixer until thick and pale.
- Add the browned butter and mix.
- In a small bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder and 1/4 teaspoon salt, and mix into liquid ingredients, along with zest, just until blended.
- Fill the greased madeleine baking molds and bake until golden, 9 to 11 minutes.
- *Cook's Note: you may substitute a mini-muffin pan for madeleine molds.
