Ingredients
For the Madeleines:
1 cup all-purpose flour – The main dry ingredient that gives structure.

1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted) – Adds richness and flavor.
1/2 cup granulated sugar – Sweetens the batter.
2 large eggs – Provide structure and help the madeleines rise.
1 teaspoon vanilla extract – For flavor.
Zest of 1 lemon – Adds a fresh, citrusy flavor that complements the butter.
1 tablespoon honey (optional) – Adds moisture and a bit of extra sweetness.
For Greasing the Pan:
