honey lavender madeleines
I have this old Martha Stewart Living magazine in my basement (don’t remember which one), that has this amazing looking recipe for honey lavender ice cream. It sounded so glorious that when I was trying to come up with a madeleine recipe for Easter, I immediately thought of the honey and lavender combination.
These taste like a warm spring day. I hope you love them.
honey lavender madeleines
1 stick (112g) unsalted butter
1/3 cup honey
1 1/3 cup (200g) unbleached all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons dried lavender (lavender is available in health food stores, I then ground mine in a spice/coffee grinder)
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/3 cup (65g) sugar
3 eggs
1 egg yolk
confectioner’s sugar
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees (190 degrees celsius). Butter and flour 2 madeleine pans (24 shell indentations, total). Melt butter and stir in honey. Set aside to cool. Whisk together flour, lavender, and salt. Set aside.
2. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together eggs and sugar until pale and thick, 5-7 minutes.
3. Carefully fold flour mixture into egg mixture. Stir in butter and honey. Spoon into each madeleine shape and tap the pans on the counter to tap out any air pockets. Bake for 8-10 minutes, rotating halfway through cooking time for even baking. Let cool a minute or two in the pans, then turn out onto a cooling rack. When completely cool, dust with powdered sugar.

O…my, so pretty
What an awesome sounding flavor combination! I love madeleines because they look beautiful and they taste divine. A perfect Easter Treat!
Those look beautiful. I love the honey/lavender combination as I’ve made honey/lavender ice-cream and loved it. Your Madeleines look gorgeous.
Beautiful! They sound divine! What a perfect combination for spring!
Those are simply adorable!
Those look fantastic! I adore both honey and lavender. One of these days I’ll actually buy a madeleine mold and will have to try this combination – lavender sounds like a perfect match for madeleines!
Oh how I love madeleines! I’ve never made anything with lavender, but I’ve really been wanting to try it out. I just ordered myself a new madeleine pan today, so perhaps this recipe will be the first to break in the new pan!
i have looked everywhere but i cant find the Madeleine pans
is there a substitution pan i can use in place of it? would love to make these for sunday dinner at the grandma’s house 
I love madeleines and can’t wait to try the recipe, but I need to get a Madeleine pan first. Lavender ice cream is delicious; I fell in love with it at Jiko in Disney World recently. I have that same Martha Stewart magazine from days gone by and should try it.
My 10 yr. old daughter and I made these madeleines last week for her garden fair. Since our yard crew pulled up all of our mint we were planning to use, we borrowed and dried a neighbor’s lavender. It’s supposed to be a plant your child grew over the summer-so we fudged a little!;D I made your dried cherry granola last week. It was divine! I want to try making the steel cut oatmeal since we love oatmeal but have never tried this kind. Also, your pumpkin orrecchiette looks interesting. I love that you share your sources so I know where to find things! You inspire me! I have thought a lot about you and wondered if you’re settled since moving back to Utah? I’m in Sandy. How have your kids made the adjustment? Take care!!!
These madeleines look great. They look perfect is size and colour. The flavours you have added are subtle which would make these a fine accompaniment to a good cup of tea.
