Chocolate Madeleines

You will need
  • 100g unsalted butter
  • 2 eggs
  • 60g caster sugar
  • 25g runny honey
  • 75g plain flour
  • 25g cocoa powder
  • 50g ground almonds
  • Icing sugar and edible glitter for dusting
To make them
  1. Preheat the oven to 190C.
  2. Melt the butter then leave to cool.  
  3. Whisk the eggs lightly then add the sugar and honey and whisk again until the mixture is very thick and light.  The whisk should leave a distinct ribbon-like trail when lifted out of the bowl.
  4. Sift the flour and cocoa powder into the mixture and lightly fold in.
  5. Fold the almonds in and then finally add the melted butter.
  6. Spoon the mixture into a madeleine tray - each one should be about three-quarters full.  This is about a level tablespoon.
  7. Bake for about 10 minutes. The sponge should bounce back slightly when pushed gently. 
  8. Turn out onto a wire rack and leave to cool completely before scoffing.
Serve dusted with icing sugar and edible glitter or better still some salted caramel dipping sauce.  It is Friday after all.
