1 Video | Photo: Honey-Almond Madeleines Recipe
Ingredients
- Butter, for greasing molds
- All-purpose flour, for dusting
Batter:
- 2 large egg whites, at room temperature
- 1 cup yellow cake mix (recommended: Betty Crocker Supermoist Butter Recipe)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
- Special equipment: 12 (3-inch) nonstick madeleine molds
Directions
Put an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Butter 12 madeleine molds liberally with butter. Dust with flour and set aside.
Batter: In a medium bowl, using an electric hand mixer, beat the egg whites until frothy. Add the cake mix, butter, honey, water, lemon zest, and almond extract. Beat the ingredients on low speed for 30 seconds. Increase the speed to high and beat until the batter is smooth, about 2 minutes. Spoon the batter into the prepared molds. Bake until the edges are golden and the center of the cookies spring back when touched, about 15 to 16 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes. Using a small rubber spatula, remove the madeleines and arrange, scalloped side up, on a wire rack. Cool for 15 minutes and serve.

I've been working my way through the Madeleine recipes on here, so thought I'd try this too. I must admit that when I saw, in the ingredient list....egg whites, water and yellow cake mix, I felt that these would probably be terrible. Well, they weren't terrible...but they also weren't Madeleines by any stretch of the imagination. I honestly feel that you could better use the time it would take you to make these to locate a genuine Madeleine recipe. Tip: they don't include egg whites or cake mix.

It came out soft like a cake, not dense like a madeleines I buy... Also too sweet for my taste but I can always reduce the amount of honey but I don't know what to do about it's consistency...

The Honey can Be Assertive, so swap out with Extra Fine White Sugar.A bit of Chocolate Ganache,dipping Madeleines half~way and set on parchement paper to Dry. Delicious with a few sips of Sherry,after Dinner.
