Madeleines are a simple and easy-to-make snack that I often whip up. Today, I decided to make lemon madeleines with a delightful lemony aroma.
Adding a bit of lemon zest to the batter brings out a citrus flavor.

After making them, you can coat them in icing or chocolate to give them an upgrade.
You can also add orange zest, depending on your preference. Give it a try!

Here is the simple lemon madeleine. Depending on your preference, you can add vanilla extract to make the flavor smoother and richer.
This one has a slightly crisp outside and a soft and fluffy inside.
