A Madeleine is a traditional small cake. It is from Commercy and Liverdun, two places from the northeastern France. They are small sponge cakes with a distinctive shell shape. The Hilltop honey that we have added to the recipe gives it that little bit extra to these sponge cakes.

Ingredients

64 g unsalted butter
85 g cup sugar
128 g flour
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
1 tbsp Organic Blossom honey
Bee Pollen, for decoration

Directions

Cook butter in a heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly until it foams, turns clear, and then turns a medium brown, about 5 minutes. Pour browned butter into a glass measuring cup and let cool for 10 minutes.
Whisk together sugar and flour in a medium bowl. Combine eggs, vanilla, and salt in a medium bowl and whisk together until frothy, about 1 minute. Add egg mixture to flour mixture and stir with a spatula just until combined. Add the cooled brown butter and honey; stir in just until incorporated. Cover bowl and place in the refrigerator to rest for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
Preheat oven to 350°F and butter and flour a non-stick madeleine pan. Use a 1 1/2-inch cookie scoop (or 2 spoons) to fill moulds with a generous tablespoon of batter. Bake for about 14 minutes, until puffed and golden, and edges spring back to the touch. Remove madeleines from oven and immediately turn out onto a wire rack or clean tea towel to cool. Just before serving, decorate with bee pollen.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 2 days, or wrap well and freeze.

Great product

I love the lip balm so ordered 4 to make the postage costs worthwhile. But was very surprised when they arrived in an (relatively) enormous box instead of an envelope which would have done the job adequately.

Love it

I'm not a big honey fan but decided to try the sweet and salty honey because it sounded different. I was not disappointed, it has just the right amount of sweetness and the salty flavour isnt too strong but just right. It's very addictive and I have it on my cereal every morning and have had to stop myself just eating it from the jar. Highly recommended.

Love Honey

I've used your honey before. It was a gift. I had to buy more. Thank you and the bees for making such a delicious product

Lovely taste

Very nice taste, but the bottom of all the gels turned into sugar which makes getting it out difficult when running or cycling.

Note to self

Purchased gels with a BB end of April 25.. big mistake. They were crystallised. Quick email to customer services advised to pop into hot water before consuming. Who has time to do that and if I want midway through a long run 🏃🏼‍♀️ ndoo ok not see how this works. Regret buying a product that in my opinion isn’t for consumption. They were the only ones available as everything was out of stock. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve enjoyed this product but just back luck on my part. I will purchase in future with a longer use by date.

Hi Georgina,

Thanks for your review - as mentioned the BBE is visible for users to see on our product listing before purchasing, this is also reflected in the sale price too. The best way to de crystallise any honeys is placing them in a luke warm bowl of water, leave out in natural heat, or even place it on a luke warm radiator.

We appreciate you honest feedback however and have shared with the team :)
