Ingredients
  

For the Batter
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour Ensure it's sifted for a lighter texture.
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder Helps the madeleines rise; no direct substitution is recommended.
  • 1 pinch salt Balances sweetness; feel free to use sea salt or kosher salt.
  • 3 large eggs Add moisture and aid in leavening; room temperature eggs yield better results.
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar Adds sweetness and contributes to browning.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Enhances overall flavor complexity; use pure extract for the best taste.
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest Adds freshness and tang; feel free to add extra zest for more lemon flavor.
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice Contributes acidity and balances sweetness; avoid bottled juice for authenticity.
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (melted) Provides richness and moisture.
  • 1/2 cup fresh raspberries (finely chopped) Provide natural sweetness and a vibrant pop of color.
  • powdered sugar For dusting; this is optional and adds a lovely finish.

Equipment

  • Madeleine pan
