Callum Hann Sprout recipe as created for the 2026 Citrus Season Launch at the Adelaide Central Market

INGREDIENTS: (makes 12)

  • ½ cup plain flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ⅓ cup caster sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 80g butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
  • ⅔ cup mascarpone

For the blood orange syrup:

  • juice of 1 large or 2 small blood oranges
  • 1 rosemary sprig
  • 50mL honey
  • 50ml water

METHOD

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (fan-forced). Lightly grease a 12-hole madeleine pan with cooking oil spray.
  2. Sift flour and baking powder into a large bowl. In a separate bowl, whisk sugar, eggs, butter, honey and vanilla until well combined. Gradually add to flour and fold gently until a smooth batter forms. Spoon about a dessert spoon full of batter into each hole of the madeleine tin. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until light golden brown and cooked through.
  3. Meanwhile, make the blood orange syrup, combine all ingredients in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Simmer for 4-5 minutes or until a light syrup forms. Set aside to cool slightly, discard rosemary.
  4. Serve madeleines with a good drizzle of blood orange syrup and a dollop of mascarpone.
