Ingredients

• 2 Eggs (large, room temperature)
• 1 Lemon (zest only, finely grated)
• 7 g Baking Powder (approximately half a standard 14 g packet)
• 1 tsp Salt (fine table salt)
• 100 g All-Purpose Flour (sifted)
• 100 g Granulated Sugar
• 100 g Unsalted Butter (melted, cooled slightly)

Instructions

1. Prepare Ingredients

   Zest the lemon finely and set the zest aside. Measure flour, sugar, butter, baking powder, and salt. Bring eggs to room temperature.

   Time: PT5M

2. Melt Butter

   Place the butter in a microwave‑safe bowl and melt for about 20 seconds, or melt in a small saucepan over low heat. Let it cool slightly.

   Time: PT2M

3. Combine Wet Ingredients

   In the mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, granulated sugar, salt, and the lemon zest until the mixture becomes pale and slightly fluffy.

   Time: PT5M

4. Sift Dry Ingredients

   Sift the flour and baking powder together through the fine mesh sieve into a separate bowl.

    Temperature: 200°C

11. Cool & Demould

    Remove the pan from the oven, let the madeleines sit for 1 minute, then gently tap the pan to release them onto a cooling rack. Allow to cool completely before storing.
