Batter
Melt the butter in a small pan and simmer until it turns nut-coloured. Add the honey, mix, remove the pan from the heat, allow the mixture to cool slightly. Place the eggs, sugar and salt in a bowl, mix using the whisk on a mixer until the mixture becomes lighter in colour. Add the butter and honey mixture, continue to mix until the mixture is light and frothy. Combine the flour and baking powder, mix into the batter. Transfer the batter to the prepared tin.
Bake
Approx. 10 mins. in an oven preheated to 170 °C (convection). Remove, allow to cool slightly in the tin for approx. 10 mins. Remove the madeleines from the tin, leave to cool on a rack.
Icing
Mix the icing sugar, vanilla sugar and coffee, dip the flat side of the madeleines in the icing, allow the excess icing to drip off, place the madeleines on a baking tray lined with baking paper, leave to dry for approx. 1 hr.
