Ingredients

1. ½ cup all-purpose flour
2. ¼ teaspoon baking powder
3. ¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
4. ⅛ teaspoon salt
5. 1 large egg
6. 6 tablespoons sugar
7. 2 teaspoons fresh orange zest
8. ¼ teaspoon orange extract
9. ¼ cup salted butter, melted and cooled
10. 1 recipe Orange Glaze (recipe follows)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Spray 2 (20-well) mini madeleine pans with nonstick baking spray with flour. Set aside.
3. In a small bowl, combine flour, baking powder, cardamom, and salt, whisking well. Set aside.
4. In a large mixing bowl, combine egg, sugar, orange zest, and orange extract. Beat at high speed with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, approximately 5 minutes. Gradually add flour mixture to egg mixture, beating at medium speed until incorporated. Gradually add melted butter, beating at medium speed until well blended.
5. Spoon 1 teaspoon batter into each well of prepared pans, smoothing with fingertip to create a level surface. Let batter sit for 5 minutes.
6. Bake until light golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove madeleines from pans, and let cool completely on wire racks.
7. Spoon Orange Glaze over madeleines, and let dry completely, approximately 2 hours.
8. Store in an airtight container.

Notes

1. • Madeleines can be baked a week in advance and frozen (unglazed) in layers separated by waxed paper in an airtight container. Let madeleines thaw completely before glazing.
