Lovely Lemon Madeleines

Yesterday I posted my English Hunt Tea Set for fall....


These madeleines are so easy to bake....you will get about 40 mini madeleines or 24 large ones if you have the large pans. I prefer the mini bite size ones!

You will need: 2/3 cup sugar, 3 eggs plus 1 more egg yolk, juice from 1 small lemon, and zest from that lemon...also a pinch of salt, and 1/4 cup sifted flour and 1 stick of butter melted.
Butter each section of the madeleines baking pans......in a medium deep bowl beat the sugar, eggs, and lemon juice and then fold in the flour and mix in the butter - stir all ingredients. Spoon the batter into the mold and fill 2/3 of the way.
Bake 18 minutes for the mini's or 20 minutes for the large at 350 degrees in a preheated oven.
