  2. Combine the butter and golden syrup in a small pan and gently heat until well combined.

  4. Add one large tablespoon of mixture into each Madeleine mould. Bake in the oven for 8-10 minutes, until golden and springy. Leave to cool on a wire rack.
  5. For the frosting, place all of the ingredients, except the icing sugar, in a pan. Bring to the boil for 2-3 minutes.
