About this dish

The classic hump needs two things together: a 30-minute rest in the fridge and an oven that starts hot and is then turned down.

Hallabong marmalade stirred into the batter leaves small bits of peel throughout, so a faintly bitter citrus note keeps cutting through the butter. A little honey and milk keep the crumb moist.

Instructions

6 steps
  1. 1

    Melt 100 g unsalted butter over low heat, then let it cool until warm, not hot.

    Preheat the oven to 200°C and brush the madeleine molds with a very thin layer of butter for clean release.

  2. 2

    Whisk 2 eggs with 90 g sugar until the mixture is even and slightly lighter in color.

    Stop when most sugar grains have dissolved, because aggressive whipping can make the batter airy instead of tender.

  3. 3

    Sift in 105 g cake flour with 4 g baking powder.

    Fold with a spatula, scraping the bottom of the bowl, and stop as soon as the dry streaks disappear to avoid tough madeleines.

  4. 4

    Add 40 g hallabong marmalade, 20 ml milk, and 10 g honey, then fold gently so the peel pieces stay distributed.

    Add the cooled butter in portions and mix only until the batter looks glossy.

  5. 5

    Cover the batter surface and rest it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, which helps the classic hump form.

    Loosen the chilled batter with a few gentle folds, then fill each mold only 80% full.

  6. 6

    Bake at 200°C for 4 minutes, then lower the oven to 180°C and bake about 8 minutes more.

    Remove them when the humps rise and the edges turn pale golden, then cool briefly before serving warm.
