How to make French Madeleines with distinctive bumps

There are many ways to make madeleines. This is my favorite French recipe that incorporates honey and milk. 💖

Ingredients (makes 22-24 madeleines)
3 eggs, room temperature
½ cup (100 g) sugar
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons milk
1 cup (144 g) flour (plus 2 tablespoons for dusting the pan)
1 teaspoon (5 g) baking powder
½ cup (113 g) unsalted butter, melted (plus 1 tablespoon for preparing the pan)
Grated zest of one lemon

1. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, sugar, honey, vanilla extract and milk together.
2. Sift in the flour and baking powder and whisk until combined.
3. Add melted butter slowly until combined.
4. Grate in one lemon zest and mix well.
5. Seal the bowl and chill for at least 1 hour. This gives the flour enough time to absorb moisture and for the batter to thicken so that madeleines will have their distinctive bumps.
6. Brush the madeleine pan thoroughly with softened butter and dust with flour. Shake out excess flour from the pan. Put the pan in the fridge to harden the coating, about 10 minutes.
7. Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C).
8. Transfer batter into the madeleine pan, filling two thirds full, about 1 tablespoon.
9. Bake the madeleines at 400°F (205°C) for 3 minutes and then 375°F (190°C) for 7 minutes. Total time is 10 minutes. If you have dark color pan, please reduce the baking time by 1 minute so your madeleines will not get burnt. Darker pans usually heat up faster than white color baking pan.
10. Unmold as soon as they are out of the oven. Just pour them out. If it gets stuck in the pan, use a toothpick to gently lift it out. Transfer the madeleines to wire rack to cool.

NOTES:
To have distinctive bumps on Madeleines:
1. The batter needs to be chilled before being transferred to the pan. This gives the flour enough time to absorb moisture and the batter to thicken.
2. During baking, the oven needs to be at higher temperature (400°F/ 205°C) in the beginning for 3 minutes before lowering it to 375°F/ 190°C for 7 minutes.

If you just need regular Madeleines with no bumps, refrigeration is not needed, just bake the madeleines at 375°F for 10-12 minutes.
