Ingredients
Steps
-
Cut the zest of half a lemon into small pieces.
-
Add the lemon zest to the caster sugar
-
Mix evenly and leave for 1 hour until the fragrance comes out before using. (Try to peel off the white part of the lemon peel with a knife, and only choose the yellow part on the outer layer, otherwise the taste will be bitter and astringent)
-
Pour the caster sugar and lemon zest mixture into the egg bowl
-
Use a hand mixer to mix evenly
-
Mix low-gluten flour and baking powder and sift
-
Mix well with a hand mixer. Just mix it thoroughly, do not beat the eggs
-
Add a little vanilla extract
-
Stir with a spatula until completely mixed and the mixture becomes a thick paste
-
After heating the butter and melting it, pour it into the mixture (it is best to pour it in while the butter is still warm)
-
Mix again with a spatula
-
Stir until the mixture becomes a smooth paste, then refrigerate for 1 hour
-
Remove batter from refrigerator. By this time the batter has solidified. Leave it at room temperature for a while. When the batter returns to a flowable state, put the batter into a piping bag and squeeze it into the madeleine mold. About 90% full. (If you don’t use a piping bag, you can also use a spoon to scoop the batter into the mold)
-
Place the mold into the preheated oven, heat up and down to 190 degrees, and bake for 13-15 minutes. In the picture, when baking for 9 minutes, a high bulge has appeared on the back of the Madeleine
-
Unmold the baked madeleines while they are hot and place them on a cooling rack to cool
-
