Earl Grey Tea Madeleines with HoneyBrian Leatart

These little scallop-shaped cakes are a classic teatime treat in France.

Baking tip:

Silicone madeleine molds need no buttering amd flouring — and their flexibility makes unmolding a cinch (you can actually turn them inside out). Put the mold on a baking sheet so that it will be easy to get the flexible pan in and out of the oven.
