Makes 12
1 stick unsalted butter
2 Tbsp bourbon
2 Tbsp of Honey
1⁄2 of Orange zest
12 Donsuemor Madeleines

Stir frequently until the butter turns golden brown, then remove from heat, this should
take around 5 minutes.
2) Briefly remove the saucepan from the heat to safely add the bourbon, honey and
orange zest to the mixture. Return to the heat for another minute, careful to prevent
butter from burning (remove from heat if it appears darker).
3) Let the mixture sit at room temperature for a few minutes.
4) Mix to re-combine the butter solids with the honey if they have separated while cooling,
pour over 12 Donsuemor Madeleines and serve right away.
