Madeleines

Ingredients

• 125g All-purpose flour
• 125g Granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• 125g unsalted butter, melted
• 1 TL baking powder
• 1 Prise Pinch of salt
• 1/2 TL lemon zest
• 1 EL powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

1. Allow the melted butter to cool slightly.
2. In a bowl, whisk eggs and sugar until the mixture is light and thick.
3. Sift flour, baking powder, and salt together, then gently fold into the egg mixture. Add the lemon zest.
4. Gradually fold the melted butter into the batter until well combined.
5. Cover the batter and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (or overnight). This is crucial for the characteristic hump.
6. Preheat oven to 200°C (390°F) conventional heat. Grease and flour a madeleine pan.
7. Fill each well of the pan about two-thirds full with batter.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 8-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the madeleines have their characteristic hump.
9. Remove madeleines from the oven, let cool briefly, then turn out of the pan. Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm.
