Lemon Madeleines

I have found this beautiful madeleine mould  in my godmother's kitchen (currently spending a couple of weeks here) and still had a lemon left over, so I decided to whisk up some light lemon madeleines :) Basically I had a look around for recipes Google would suggest, and decided to make a mixture of all of them and just go with it.. All of these were rough measurements as I didn't have scales at hand, but somehow it all turned out fine so I hope yours do too!

P.S. If you're wondering how come the quality of my pictures improved so much - it didn't, I let my sister take the pictures since she got a new camera :)

Ingredients

75 g of melted butter
75 of sugar
2 eggs
100 g of flour
1 teaspoon of baking powder
1 sachet of vanilla sugar
the juice of 1 lemon, and its zest if you have an organic one
icing sugar

Whisk together the melted butter (shouldn't be too hot!) with the sugar, add in the eggs. Mix together the flour and the baking powder and mix in well. Lastly, add the vanilla sugar, the lemon juice and the lemon zest.

That's what the mould looks like:

Grease your madeleine mould really well. Preheat the oven to 180° C on the fan setting and carefully fill up the moulds to about 3/4. Bake in the oven for 8 minutes, until the edges turn brown. Let them cool down and dust with a bit of icing sugar. Enjoy :)
