Madeleines

This is a French specialty, but I love these sweet, little treats, so I couldn't resist making them.

Ingredients:

Madeleine pan

Some grease

125 g (1 stick) butter

100 g sugar

4 eggs

Zest from one lemon

125 g all-purpose flour

1 leveled teaspoon baking powder

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 F). Melt butter at low heat in a stovetop pot. Remove from heat to cool down.

2. Whisk eggs until foaming lightly. Add sugar and lemon zest and whisk further.

3. While whisking slowly pour in melted butter.

4. Lastly, mix flour and baking powder and sift on top of batter. Whisk until flour has been taken up into the mixture.

5. Grease Madeleine pan, add batter into wells (1-2 teaspoons depending on the size, each well should be filled to about 2/3).

6. Bake at 180 degrees Celsius (350 F) until done and golden on top (about 15 minutes)
