Honey-spiced Madeleines

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.
