Instructions
- Use 1 tbsp to butter the madeleines pans and place in the freezer for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- In a small bowl, combine the melted 7 tbsp butter, lemon juice and a pinch of fine sea salt. Mix well and set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs, then gradually add the sugar as you whisk.
- Sift in the flour and baking powder. Mix just until combined.
- Add in the melted butter mixture and mix once more just until combined.
- If making any flavors, stir in those ingredients now.
