Lemon Madeleine’s
4 eggs, separated
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/4 cups melted butter
1 tbsp lemon juice
2-1/3 cups sifted flour
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Beat yolks at high speed with the sugar, melted butter and lemon juice. When mixture is smooth and thick, reduce speed on mixer and blend in the flour, continuing to beat between additions. Then, still beating, add the egg whites, one at a time. (They are not beaten before they are added.) When batter is smooth, drop by the spoonfuls into prepared Madeleine pans. Bake about 20-25 min. Cool slightly, and then remove from pan to cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar.
Variations: Can add the zest of one lemon, and/or finely chopped crystallized ginger.

Pat/No CA notes: These are very yummy. I added lemon zest to the batter, made 12 Madeleine’s, divided the remaining batter in half adding finely chopped crystallized ginger to one and poppy seeds to the other. Tasty.
Maria/No CA Notes: In my dark nonstick pan these take about 17 minutes. I also add the zest.
