Ingredients:
- 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
- ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour the madeleine pan to prevent sticking.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until thick and pale. Incorporate the melted butter, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
- Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined.
- Spoon the batter into the madeleine molds, filling them about ¾ full.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden and firm to the touch.
- Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form.
- Serve madeleines warm or at room temperature with a dollop of whipped cream.
