Ingredients
1 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus 2 tablespoons for greasing pan
3/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 teaspoon baking powder
4 large farm fresh eggs
Pinch fine salt
2/3 cups sugar
Zest of 1 large lemon
Juice of 1/2 a lemon
1 vanilla bean, seeded
Powdered sugar, for dusting
Directions
Special equipment:
madeleine molds- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter the madeleine molds and dust them with flour.
- Add the flour and baking powder to a medium bowl and whisk well.
- Add the eggs and the salt in the bowl of a stand mixer with a whisk attachment and whip at high speed until they triple in volume, about 3 minutes. Pour in the sugar and then the vanilla seeds. Continue beating for a few moments, and then add the lemon zest and juice Slow down the mixer to medium-low and gradually add the flour mixture. When all the flour has been incorporated, add the melted butter.
- As soon as the butter has been absorbed by the mixture, turn off the mixer and pour the batter into a large measuring cup. Pour the batter into the molds, filling each mold two-thirds of the way full.
- Bake the madeleines until the edges are golden brown, 13 to 14 minutes. Remove from the oven and unmold immediately. Cool on racks and dust with powdered sugar.
