Lavender Madeleines Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Butter each madeleine mold in pan and dust with flour, tapping out excess. Melt 9 tablespoons unsalted butter in medium skillet over medium heat. Cook until butter turns golden brown, stirring often, 3 to 4 minutes. Set browned butter aside.
• Using electric mixer, beat egg whites, sugar, all purpose flour, and almond flour in medium bowl until mixture is blended and smooth. Place honey in small microwave-safe bowl. Heat just to warm, 5 to 10 seconds. Beat honey into batter. Add browned butter; beat to blend. Spoon 1 tablespoon batter into each prepared madeleine mold.
• Bake madeleines until tops are just dry and tester inserted into center comes out clean, about 12 minutes. Cool 5 minutes. Gently tap madeleines out of molds. Place on rack to cool slightly.
• To prepare additional madeleines, wash pan and cool completely. Butter and flour molds and fill as directed above. Serve madeleines warm.

Steps:

• Using a food processor, process sugar and lavender flowers until finely ground.
• Heat oven to 400 degrees.
• In a large bowl and using a wire whisk; mix eggs, lavender sugar mixture and vanilla until light and fluffy.

• Bake 8 to 10 miutes or until golden brown.
• Immediately remove from pan and allow to cool on a wire rack.
• Store in an airtight container.
