EASY MADELEINES
2 eggs
100 g caster sugar
100 g plain flour, plus extra for dusting
1 lemon, juice and zest
¾ Tsp baking powder
100 g butter, melted and cooled slightly, plus extra for greasing
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Brush the Madeleine tray with melted butter and then shake in a little flour to coat, tapping out the excess.
Whisk together the eggs and caster sugar until frothy. Lightly whisk in the remaining ingredients. Leave to stand for 20 minutes before carefully pouring into the prepared Madeleine tray. Do not overfill.
Bake for 8 -10 minutes or until the mixture has risen a little in the middle and is fully cooked. Transfer to a wire rack and leave to cool slightly. Dust with icing sugar just before serving.
