Madeleines Draft

How I make it

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Spray 2 madeleine pans with nonstick spray and set aside.

2. In a mixer bowl, beat the eggs and sugar on high speed for 3-4 minutes, until thick and pale.

3. Add the vanilla, lemon zest, flour, salt and baking powder and keep mixing.

4. Lower the speed, pour in the melted butter and mix until smooth.

5. Divide the batter evenly among the molds and bake for 8-10 minutes, until lightly golden and browned at the edges.

6. Cool in the pans for about 2 minutes, then turn out onto a cool surface.

7. Once cool, dust with powdered sugar if you like, and serve.

What I've learned

• If I don't have madeleine pans, I shape the cookies myself on a regular pan.
