Servings: 18 madeleines Prep: PT30M Cook: PT25M Total: PT55M

Ingredients

  • 3 eggs
  • 80 g caster sugar
  • 40 g honey
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 150 g self-raising flour
  • 150 g unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus extra for greasing
  • Finely grated zest of 1 yuzu (optional)
  • 3 eggs (for yuzu curd)
  • 1 egg yolk (for yuzu curd)
  • 150 g caster sugar (for yuzu curd)
  • 150 ml yuzu juice
  • 150 g softened unsalted butter, diced (for yuzu curd)

Steps

  1. Whisk eggs, sugar, honey, vanilla and a pinch of sea salt until pale and fluffy, about 8-10 minutes.
  2. Sift flour over the mixture and fold through gently.
  3. Fold in melted butter and yuzu zest a little at a time until just combined.
  4. Cover and refrigerate the batter for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
  5. For the yuzu curd, whisk eggs, egg yolk and sugar together in a heatproof bowl, then stir in yuzu juice.
  6. Set the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water and stir continuously (do not whisk) until thickened, about 11-12 minutes.
  7. Remove from heat and whisk in butter piece by piece until fully incorporated.
  8. Strain the curd and chill quickly over an ice bath.
  9. Transfer curd to a piping bag fitted with a 5mm nozzle and refrigerate until firm, 1-2 hours.
  10. Preheat oven to 180°C fan-forced. Brush madeleine moulds with melted butter.
  11. Spoon heaped tablespoons of batter into each mould.
  12. Bake for 8-10 minutes until domed and springy to the touch.
  13. Turn madeleines out onto a wire rack to cool.
  14. Cut a small slit into each madeleine and pipe in a little yuzu curd.
  15. Arrange on a platter and serve with extra yuzu curd on the side for dipping.
