Rosie says, "Bright green matcha madeleines were the absolute star of the afternoon tea at the Prince Gallery Hotel in Tokyo, where I stayed on a recent trip – sweet but with a satisfying bitterness. They inspired me to try my own update on the French classic – best served hot from the oven with a good cup of coffee. I’d recommend making the mix as far in advance as possible."

Method

  • step 1

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg yolk, sugar, matcha and 1/2 tsp sea salt until foamy. While whisking, gradually sift in the our and baking powder, making sure there are no lumps. Warm the clarified butter and honey in a pan over a low heat for 1-2 mins and gently pour into the madeleine mix, stirring constantly. Cover the mixture with cling film and chill in the fridge for a few hrs or overnight.

  • step 2

    Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Butter and our the madeleine tins (you don’t need to do this if the moulds are silicone). Transfer the mixture to a piping bag. Half fill each hole in the mould. Bake in the oven for 3 mins, then reduce the temperature to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and cook for a further 4-5 mins until the madeleines are golden brown and puffed. Remove from the tins immediately and devour.
