Ingredients
2 eggs
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
7 tablespoons butter, melted
Peel of 1 lemon, grated
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Sifted confectioners’ sugar
Directions
Step 1:
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Generously butter and lightly flour 20 three-inch-long madeleine molds. Set aside.
Step 2:
In a large bowl, with electric mixer on high, beat eggs and granulated sugar until light and thick, about 5 minutes. In another bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt, then gently fold in egg and sugar mixture. Add melted butter, lemon peel, and juice, and fold in until combined.
Step 3:
Spoon mixture into the molds and bake 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden. Remove from oven and turn out onto a rack. When cooled, dust with confectioners’ sugar. Store in an airtight container.
