I have a Madeleine collection. Many don't make it. This does! Don't overfill or overcook

We enjoyed these quite a bit -- the combo of honey, spices (ginger, cinnamon and cloves), and orange zest makes for a nice seasonal treat. The recipe calls for 1/8 tsp. or less of ground cloves -- and next time I would do a little bit less than that.
Need to plan ahead a bit with this one as Dorie suggests letting the batter chill for three hours before baking.
Although it would have been pretty, I skipped dusting the cookies with confectioner's sugar as we don't like things -- even cookies-- to be too sweet.
Makes 12 large madeleines. Mini versions of these would be great with an orange sorbet.
Looking forward to having these with tea tomorrow afternoon.
Day 2 note -- these are definitely better warm from the oven.
