At the start of the year, I must admit that I slacked off a bit and that I didn’t post too many recipes on the blog, but as promised, here is my lemon madeleines recipe!
Well, let’s give back to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to be honest, these little madeleines were made with 4 hands by my men!
And as you can see in the photos below, they were also literally devoured with 4 hands by my 2 little ones. I almost didn’t have time to take my photos… Don’t be surprised that their hands are chubby! 😉
This recipe is really simple to make and is perfect for children’s snacks or adults’ coffee/tea. And yes, the little ones don’t have exclusivity. 😉
This madeleine recipe should be made again and again without moderation! You will see in the recipe that I used the zest of a whole lemon, this allows them to be lightly flavored but not too much, don’t hesitate to add more if you really want to give them a lemony taste.
And conversely, you can also make plain madeleines using only the juice of 1/2 lemon but not the zest.
In short, it’s a 100% customizable recipe! At the top !
