Earl Gray Tea Madelines with Honey

I love Earl Gray tea.That's why I have been wanting to make these Earl Gray Madeline for some time. It was the perfect choice to make as Christmas gifts. After reading reviews on the a number of recipes, I decided to use Bon Appetit recipe as the basis. I decided to incorporate the tea leaves in the Madeleines instead of just using the Earl Grey infused melted butter.

The search for perfect Madeleine

Madeleine have been on my mind lately...To be exact the delectable Lemon Madeleine I made a couple of year ago. It  was of those reader requested recipe of something they ate at a restaurant, in either Gourmet or Bona Appetit magazine. I remember closing my eyes in bliss, biting into the tender crumbed Madeleine deliciously perfume with lemon zest. You know what is coming right? Yes, you guess it!! I lost the recipe. I cannot remember if it contained honey, if I chilled the dough or did I add baking powder that is frown upon by the purist. So now begins my quest for the perfect Madeleine recipe.
