Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a Madeleine pan or use a non-stick Madeleine pan.
In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract until light and fluffy.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture, gently folding until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Slowly pour in the melted butter and lemon zest (if using), folding until the batter is smooth and well incorporated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the batter for at least 1 hour. Chilling the batter helps the Madeleines form their characteristic hump.
Spoon the chilled batter into the Madeleine pan, filling each shell-shaped cavity about 2/3 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 10-12 minutes, or until the edges of the Madeleines turn golden brown and the centers spring back when lightly pressed.
Remove the Madeleines from the oven and let them cool in the pan for a few minutes. Then, gently transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, you can enjoy the Madeleine cakes as is, or dust them with powdered sugar for an extra touch.
