Ingredients

  • 4 Eggs
  • 80 grams Sugar
  • 3 tbsp Honey
  • 2 lemons' worth Grated lemon peel
  • 2 bags Earl Grey tea bag
  • 130 grams Cake flour
  • 1 tsp Baking powder
  • 50 grams Butter
  • 30 ml Vegetable oil

Method

  • Combine the ingredients and sift them well.
  • Melt the butter and mix it with the vegetable oil.
  • Break the eggs into a bowl and beat them well.
  • Then add all of the sugar and whisk the mixture until it doubles in size.
  • Add the honey, lemon, and tea in that order, stirring after each addition.
  • Add in the sifted ingredients and mix well with a whisk until the mixture is no longer floury.
  • Re-heat the melted butter and add it into the bowl from Step 3 in 3 batches while still hot, folding it in with the whisk.
  • Pour the mixture from Step 4 into the madeleine moulds and let the mixture sit for 1 hour.
  • Then bake the madeleines at 180C for 15 minutes.
  • (These temperatures and times are estimates.
  • Adjust if necessary.)
  • If you don't have a lot of time, you can bake the madeleines straight away without letting them sit, but it's best to let the mixture rest for an hour.
  • The deliciously fluffy centre is full of tea leaves.
