Lavender and Honey Madeleines with Orange Blossom Glaze

Ingredients

Instructions

1. 1 Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a madeleine pan by greasing it with butter and lightly dusting with flour.
2. 2 In a medium bowl, whisk together the sifted flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
3. 3 In a large mixing bowl, combine the sugar and ground lavender. Add the eggs one at a time, beating with an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is thick and pale, about 5 minutes.
4. 4 Gently fold the flour mixture into the egg mixture until just combined. Add the honey, melted butter, and vanilla extract, folding gently until the batter is smooth.
5. 5 Spoon the batter into the prepared madeleine molds, filling each about three-quarters full. Smooth the tops with a spatula.
6. 6 Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the madeleines are golden brown and spring back when lightly pressed.
7. 7 While the madeleines are baking, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, orange juice, and orange blossom water in a small bowl until smooth.
8. 8 Once baked, remove the madeleines from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
9. 9 While the madeleines are still warm, drizzle with the orange blossom glaze using a spoon or a small pastry brush.
10. 10 Allow the glaze to set for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy these fragrant madeleines with a cup of tea or coffee.
