Method
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Generously butter and flour your madeleine pan to prevent sticking.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk together eggs and sugar until light and slightly thickened (about 2-3 minutes).
- Add vanilla extract and lemon zest to the egg mixture and whisk to combine.
- Gradually drizzle in the melted butter while whisking continuously, then whisk in the heavy cream.
- Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture in two additions, using a rubber spatula. Be careful not to overmix.
- Cover the batter and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours) to enhance the texture.
- Transfer the batter to a piping bag or use a spoon to fill the madeleine molds about three-quarters full.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown around the edges and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Let the madeleines cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
