Equipment
- Madeleine or Mini Muffin Pan
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter melted and cooled
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup flour sifted
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- ½ tsp vanilla extract or vanilla bean paste
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp lemon juice
- Powdered sugar
Instructions
- Melt butter. Set aside to cool.
- In a large bowl, whisk eggs and sugar together until frothy and light yellow, about 3 minutes.
- Add in lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour and baking powder.
- Add flour mix to the eggs and sugar by folding in.
- Incorporate the cooled butter to the mix, being careful not to over mix.
