Nonettes

Nonettes are small, jam-filled cakes from a bygone age. They originated in Dijon, where they were made by nuns (hence the name, which means "little nun" in French). The traditional version is closer to the French "pain d'épices", but this recipe has a more of a citrus flavour, made with marmalade.

Step by step recipe

Put in a saucepan: 100 ml water, 100 g honey, 50 g caster sugar and 30 g butter with a little orange zest.

Sieve 140 g flour and 5 g baking powder.

Stage 3 - 7 min.

Put the saucepan on medium heat and bring to a simmer.

Stage 4 - 1 min.

Remove from the heat and tip in the flour and baking powder.

Stage 5 - 2 min.

Mix well with a whisk to make a smooth batter.

Stage 6 - 10 min.

Put a first layer of batter in the bottom of the moulds or tins, then place a small spoonful of marmalade on top.

Stage 7 - 1 hour

Cover with more batter and refrigerate for 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 210°C (410°F).

Bake for about 20 minutes.

Remarks

For a more traditional flavour, add a little mixed spice (or the special French "pain d'épices" blend if you can find it).

You can also vary the main flavour by using a different zest and marmalade (lime, for example), or simply use jam; blackcurrant is delicious.
