Ingredients:
2 large eggs
2/3 cup sugar
Pinch of salt
1 cup flour
2 tsp lemon zest
10 Tablespons unsalted butter
1 tsp vanilla
Powdered sugar (optional)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Melt butter and let cool to room temperature. Generously butter and flour pan for large madeleines.
Using electric mixer, beat eggs and sugar in a large bowl just to blend. Next beat in vanilla, salt, and lemon zest. Add flour, beat just until blended. Gradually add cooled, melted butter in a steady stream beating just until blended.
Spoon 1 Tablespoon batter into each indentation. Bake until puffed and brown, should spring back in the middle, about 10-15 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar if desired. Repeat with extra batter.
Try not to eat them all at once! (It will be hard, they are delightful!)
