  • Mix honey, milk, and cooled butter together, then stir into the egg mixture.
  • Fold the flour mixture into the wet ingredients in two batches.
  • Cover and rest the batter in the fridge for several hours or overnight.
  • Heat lemon zest, juice, salt, sugar, and butter in a saucepan until melted.
  • Whisk egg yolks in a bowl, add to the pan, and whisk constantly over low heat until thickened.
  • Sieve the curd into a bowl, cover with cling film, and refrigerate for one hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 190°C and grease a madeleine tin with butter and flour.
  • Fill each shell with a tablespoon of batter and press a raspberry into the center.
  • Bake for five minutes, turn the oven off for one minute, then bake at 160°C for five more minutes.
