Classic French madeleine cookies with a hint of lemon zest, perfect for a delightful treat with tea or coffee.
Ingredients: 2/3 cup all-purpose flour. 1/2 cup granulated sugar. 1/2 teaspoon baking powder. Pinch of salt. Zest of 1 lemon. 2 large eggs. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled.
Instructions: Set the oven to 350F 175C and heat it up. Whisk the flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, and lemon zest together in a bowl. Beat the eggs and vanilla extract in a different bowl until they are foamy and light. Mix the dry ingredients into the egg mixture slowly until they are just combined. Mix the butter into the batter until it is smooth. Put the batter in the fridge for at least 30 minutes with the lid on the bowl. Butter and flour a madeleine mold. Fill up each mold about three quarters of the way to the top with batter. Before you put the madeleines in the oven, heat it up. Bake them for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Take the madeleines out of the oven and let them cool a bit before moving them to a wire rack to cool all the way down. Before you serve, sprinkle with powdered sugar. Have fun with your tasty French madeleines!
