Step 1
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 2
In a separate large bowl, whisk eggs and granulated sugar until light, pale, and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes). Stir in lemon zest.
Step 3
Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture until just combined. Then, gradually fold in the melted and cooled butter until the batter is smooth.
Step 4
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the batter for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight. Chilling helps develop the 'hump'.
Step 5
Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). Generously butter and flour a Madeleine pan, tapping out any excess. Fill each mold about two-thirds full with chilled batter.
Step 6
Bake for 8-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the Madeleines have developed their characteristic 'hump'.
Step 7
Immediately invert the Madeleines onto a wire rack to cool. Dust with powdered sugar before serving. Best eaten fresh.
