Chocolate and Honey Madeleines

Method

• Melt the butter, use some of the melted butter to liberally grease the Madeleine tray.  Put the rest of the butter to one side to cool. 
• Whisk the egg and caster sugar together until it is thick and fluffy, the whisk should leave a ribbon trail when you lift it out of the mixture.
• Measure the flour then remove 2 teaspoons of the flour and replace it with 2 teaspoons of cocoa powder.
• Sift the flour and cocoa into the egg and sugar mixture and fold in.  
• Add 3 tablespoons of the cooled melted butter, again fold into the mixture.
• Half fill each mould and bake for just 8 minutes, until firm to the touch. 
• Leave in the tin for a few minutes then turn out onto a cooling rack.
• Whilst the Chocolate Madeleines are still warm brush them with a little warmed honey using a pastry brush.
