Meyer Lemon Madeleines
These Meyer lemon madeleines are light, sweet, and perfect for sharing on Valentine's Day. Dust them with powdered sugar for an extra special touch.
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- ⅓ cup cane sugar
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon lemon oil
- ½ cup all-purpose flour, sifted
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest (from a Meyer lemon, ideally)
- 4 tablespoons coconut oil, melted and cooled
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Spray your madeleine pan with cooking spray, or skip if your pan is nonstick.
- In a large bowl, combine the eggs, sugar and salt. Use an electric mixer and, beat well until the mixture is pale, thick and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the vanilla and lemon oil. Sprinkle the sifted flour over the egg mixture and beat on low speed to incorporate.
- Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the lemon zest and half of the coconut oil just until blended. Fold in the remaining coconut oil.
- Divide the batter among the prepared molds, using a heaping tablespoon of batter for each mold. Bake the madeleines until the tops spring back when lightly touched, 5 to 8 minutes. (This might vary depending on your oven - we baked ours for 5).
- Remove the pan from the oven and invert it over a wire rack, then rap it on the rack to release the madeleines. Once they're cool, dust with powdered sugar.
