1 cup all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
¾ cup orange blossom honey
2 large eggs
1 egg white
1 tablespoon grated orange zest

Preheat oven to 325˚. Spray 2 (12-well) madeleine pans with baking spray with flour.
In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, ginger, and salt.
In a separate medium bowl, beat butter with a mixer at medium speed until creamy. Gradually add honey, and beat until smooth. Add eggs, 1 at a time, and egg white, beating well after each addition.

Spoon batter by heaping tablespoons into each well of prepared pans. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes; transfer to wire racks, and let cool in pans for 5 minutes. Remove from pans, and let cool completely.
