The Method

1
Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan/ Gas Mark 6). Grease a 12-hole madeleine tin with melted Jersey butter and dust with flour. Tap out any excess.
2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3
In a separate large bowl, whisk the eggs and caster sugar until pale and slightly thickened.
4
Whisk in the melted Jersey butter, Jersey honey, and Jersey milk until combined.
5
Gently fold in the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
6
Stir in the orange zest.
7
Spoon the batter into the prepared madeleine tin, filling each mould about two-thirds full.
8
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the madeleines are golden brown around the edges and spring back when lightly touched.
9
Let the madeleines cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
10
Dust with icing sugar (optional) before serving.

Chef's Tips

For best results, chill the batter for at least 30 minutes before baking. This allows the flour to fully hydrate and results in a more tender madeleine.

To get the characteristic madeleine 'hump', place the tin in the preheated oven directly from the fridge.

Madeleines are best enjoyed fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

Experiment with other citrus zests, such as lemon or grapefruit, for a different flavour profile.

To make a potato flour glaze, sieve a small amount of Jersey Royal potato flour with icing sugar and add a little water to make a thick icing. Drizzle across the cooled madeleines for an extra Jersey touch.
