Main Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted and cooled
- 1 cup all-purpose flour sifted
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest finely grated
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and flour a madeleine pan.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until pale and thick.
Add the vanilla extract and lemon zest, and mix well.
Gently fold in the flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined.
Fold in the melted butter until the batter is smooth.
Spoon the batter into the prepared madeleine pan, filling each mold about ¾ full.
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers spring back when lightly touched.
Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
