Lemon Madelines



INGREDIENTS:
5 eggs
200g (7oz) caster or superfine sugar
finely grated zest from 1 lemon (orange, lemon, lime)
200g (7oz) plain (all-purpose) flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
180g (6oz) unsalted butter, melted and cooled

Preheat the oven to 200C (400F). Whisk eggs and sugar together until they are pale and fluffy. Then mix in lemon zest. Add the flour, baking powder and butter and fold everything together. Leave the mixture to rest for 5 minutes. Spoon the mixture into a greased madeline tray and bake for 8-9 minutes or a little longer, depending on the size of the holes in your madeline tray.
