Lemon madeleines are petite, delicate French sponge cakes with a delightful hint of citrus flavor. These elegant treats are perfect for afternoon tea, a sweet breakfast addition, or a charming dessert. The slight crunch from the sugared exterior and the soft, airy crumb inside will make these lemon madeleines a memorable indulgence.
- Ensure your butter is fully melted and slightly cooled before mixing it into the batter to prevent curdling.
- Chill the batter for at least an hour before baking to achieve the classic madeleine hump.
- Grease and flour your madeleine pan well to prevent sticking and to achieve the perfect shell shape.
- Use fresh lemon zest for the most vibrant flavor.
- Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the madeleines light and fluffy.
Once your lemon madeleines are baked to a golden perfection, allow them to cool slightly before dusting them with a light sprinkle of powdered sugar. These delightful cakes are best enjoyed fresh, but they can also be stored in an airtight container for a day or two. Pair them with a cup of tea or coffee to enhance their elegant, zesty flavors.
