Cornmeal Honey Madeleines Recipes

Steps:

• For the ancho chile butter: Mix the butter, cilantro, ancho powder, honey and 1/2 teaspoon sea salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
• For the madeleines: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray the madeleine mold with cooking spray.
• Mix the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter and egg until well mixed. Stir the flour mixture into the buttermilk mixture until just combined; do not overmix. Fold in the Cheddar, corn and jalapenos.
• Scoop 1 heaping tablespoon of the mixture into each madeleine mold. Gently tap the mold to release any air bubbles. Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Serve the madeleines dolloped with the ancho butter.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Butter a 12-hole madeleine mould (use a tiny amount of the melted butter) and dust lightly with flour. You can use tartlet tins if you don't have the a madeleine mould.
• Mix the flour and sugar in a bowl. Put the butter, egg yolk, honey and vanilla into a separate bowl and whisk with a fork to mix. Whisk the two egg whites until stiff. Fold the butter mixture into the dry ingredients until evenly mixed, then fold in the egg whites in two batches using the whisk.
• Divide between the prepared moulds and bake for 10-12 mins until golden brown and firm to the touch. Leave to cool in the moulds for a few mins, then turn out and cool on a wire rack. Dust with icing sugar before serving.

Steps:

• Whisk together flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk together sugar and eggs in another medium bowl until pale and thick, about 2 minutes. Whisk in honey. Fold in flour mixture using a rubber spatula. Pour in butter in a slow, steady stream, folding gently to combine. Refrigerate batter for at least 4 hours (or overnight).
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Butter and flour a cast-iron pan, and fill about three-quarters full. Bake until golden around edges (time will vary depending on size of pan). Remove from oven, and immediately transfer madeleines from pan to a wire rack. Let cool. Coat each with glaze, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter, being sure to not let the butter brown. Remove from heat, and stir in honey and almond extract (or vanilla extract). Let stand until room temperature. In a small bowl, whisk together, flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
• In a medium bowl, using a rubber spatula mix the eggs and sugars until combined. Fold in flour mixture, until just combined. Add the cooled butter mixture, and continue to fold until combined. Cover the bowl, and refrigerate until chilled, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees; with rack in center. Brush madeleine molds with melted butter; set aside.
• Fill each mold three-quarters full, using a spoon or a pastry bag. Do not overfill the molds. Bake until puffed, and the edges are golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack until pan is just cool enough to handle. Invert onto wire rack and serve warm, if possible. If not serving warm, once the madeleines are cool, sift some confectioners' sugar over the seashell side.
