These Rosemary-Orange Cornbread Madeleines have a twist of added flavor. If you don't have a madeleine pan, you can make them into regular muffins. Another variation would be lemon zest and fresh thyme.

Yields: Makes 24 Madeleines
Ingredients
Cooking spray
1¼ cups yellow cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup buttermilk
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1½ tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped
2 tablespoons orange zest
Directions
1Preheat oven to 400° F.
2Spray the madeleine mold with cooking spray.
3Mix the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and kosher salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
4In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, melted butter and egg until well mixed. Stir the flour mixture into the buttermilk mixture until just combined; do not over-mix. Fold in the rosemary and orange zest.
5Scoop 1 heaping tablespoon of the mixture into each madeleine mold. Gently tap the mold to release any air bubbles. Bake until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 8 to 10 minutes.
