Honey, Zaatar, and Rose Madeleines for snack time

Our childhood snack continues to captivate us! Today, on Do It, we're talking about a treat we still adore : madeleines! We're offering a delightful variation of this divine snack with rose and zaatar, straight from the comforting book "To Share" by Clémence Gommy, the mastermind behind the fashionable Gomi canteen. It's the art of celebrating the tradition of sharing through beautiful recipes to delight your loved ones.

 

Ingredients to Shop

For 12 madeleines : 

  • 90g unsalted butter
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 2 organic eggs
  • 75g granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon zaatar
  • 90g flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt

For the syrup :

  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 capful of rose water
  • Some rose petals for decoration
 

Recipe

In a small saucepan, melt the butter and honey over low heat, then let it cool to room temperature.

In a food processor, combine the eggs, sugar, and zaatar. Blend until you get a smooth paste.

Sift the flour and baking powder into a mixing bowl, add the salt, and mix. Then, add this mixture to the previous egg mixture. Blend everything together and add the melted butter-honey mixture. Blend again.

Cover with plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (thermostat 6-7).

Grease madeleine molds and evenly distribute the batter, filling each mold two-thirds full (about 1 heaping teaspoon in each mold).

Bake for 9-10 minutes, then let them cool before removing from the molds.

To make the honey-rose syrup, melt 3 tablespoons of honey until it becomes liquid, then add 1 capful of rose water. Soak some of the madeleines in the liquid and sprinkle with rose petals.
