Lemon Madeleines
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup (180 ml) unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon (1 ml) baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon (1 ml) salt
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup (125 ml) sugar
- Grated zest of 1 lemon
- 1/2 cup (125 ml) unsalted butter, melted and cooled to room temparature
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, and lemon zest with an electric mixer for about 5 minutes or until the mixture forms a ribbon when the beater is lifted.
- With a whisk, gently fold in the dry ingredients. Fold the butter in the same way. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 200 °C (400 °F). Butter and flour a small madeleine pan. Set aside.
- Fill each cavity three-quarter up with batter. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until the madelienes are lightly golden brown. Remove from the pan and let cool completely on a wire rack. Repeat with the remaining of the batter. Serve with Lemon Curd, if desired.
