Lemon blueberry madeleine

Got some fresh blueberries, thinking we can make some desserts... hmmmm... wonder if there is a good blueberry madeleine recipe and voilà!
This is originally from a French recipe, I am glad that I read French so I can try it out!

The lemon taste is stronger since I added one blueberry per madeleine, but I like that :) Next time I will fold in more blueberries to see the result.

Anyways, my husband's colleagues and my church friends are happy and all are gone after a meeting :)




Ingredients (24-28 madeleine)
30g honey
100g butter

60g sugar
2 eggs

30ml lemon juice
lemon zest
100g flour
1/2tsp baking powder

Instructions
You can prepare it the day before or 4 hours in advance

1. In a small pot, melt butter with honey, set aside and let it cool down

2. In a mixing bowl, whisk egg and sugar until egg becomes a bit light in color
Add in lemon juice, zest, mix well
Add in flour and baking powder
Be careful, do not over mix the mixture

3. Pour the honey butter mixture into the flour mixture, mix well
Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap, place in the fridge and leave it overnight or 4 hours

4. When you are ready to make the madeleine:
Preheat the oven at 230°c
Take out the batter, incorporate blueberries

5. If you use metallic mould, grease and sprinkle flour first

6. Fill the mould 3/4 with the help of a spoon
Place it in the oven

7. Bake for around 4mins, then drop the temperature to 200°c to bake for another 4mins. The middle part starts puffing up!

Before the last 4mins finishes, if the edge starts turning brown, reduce the temperature and let it bake until golden color

8. When time is up, take the mould out
Remove the madeleine from the mould immediately and place them on a cooling rack to cool down

Enjoy!
