Fiona Gibson's lemon Madeleines recipe from The Woman Who Upped and Left

A couple of weeks ago I was lucky enough to win a recipe card illustrated by the lovely Fiona Gibson on the run up to the release of her latest book, The Woman Who Upped and Left 

Ingredients:

2 eggs

100g caster sugar

100g plain flour

1 lemon, squeezed and zest grated

Three quarters (3/4) of a teaspoon of baking powder

100g butter, melted and cooled

Madeleine tray

(the above is on sale at M&S right now!)

1 - Brush tray with butter then shake in a little flour through a 

sieve

2 - Whisk eggs and sugar until lightly foamed, then whisk in butter, baking powder, lemon juice and zest. Leave for about 20 minutes.

3 - Pour mixture into tray and bake at 200 degrees centigrade for 8-10 minutes until light and springy to touch.

Simple!
