- 75 g unsalted butter, plus extra to grease
- 75 g self-raising flour, plus extra to dust
- 2 Tbsp. fresh thyme leaves
- 40 g runny honey
- 2 large eggs
- 50 g Parmesan, finely grated
- 1/2 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh rosemary
- 2 Tbsp. natural yogurt
- Step 1Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan) mark 4. Grease holes of a 12-hole madeleine tin and dust with flour, tapping out any excess. Sprinkle half the thyme leaves into the floured holes. Finely chop remaining thyme and set aside.
- Step 2Melt butter and honey in a small pan; cool for 10min. Meanwhile, in a large bowl using a handheld electric whisk, beat eggs until pale, thick and doubled in volume.
- Step 3Using a large metal spoon, gently fold butter mixture into eggs. Next fold in flour, Parmesan, chopped herbs, yogurt and 1/4tsp fine salt until combined. Divide between holes of the tin (don't smooth out).
- Step 4Cook for 10-12min until risen and golden. Cool in tin for 5min. Firmly tap tin on a surface to loosen the madeleines, then carefully invert on to a wire rack to allow them to fall out on to the rack. Cool before serving.
