Method
Ingredients
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Using an electric hand-mixer, cream the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy.
Add the eggs, vanilla, the lemon zest and juice, flour, poppy seeds, cinnamon and yoghurt and mix.
Lightly grease a madeleine tin, then spoon in the batter. Bake for 10–15 minutes, or until a skewer inserted comes out clean.
To make the ClemenGold marmalade, place the ClemenGolds, ginger and sugar in a saucepan over a medium heat. Bring to a gentle boil and cook for 10 minutes, softening the skins and reducing the syrup.
Serve the madeleines with the marmalade and lemon curd. Garnish with the flaked almonds.
