Ingredients
· Dry Ingredients:

o 1 cup granulated sugar
o 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
o 1/4 teaspoon salt
· Wet Ingredients:
o 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
o 1/2 cup heavy cream
o 2 large eggs
o 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
o 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
2. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and vanilla extract.
3. Mix Wet and Dry: Gently pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
4. Add Butter and Zest: Fold in the melted butter and lemon zest until just incorporated. Do not overmix.
5. Chill (Optional): For best results, cover the batter and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
6. Prepare Pans: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease and lightly flour a standard madeleine pan.
7. Fill Pans: Spoon about a tablespoon of batter into each shell-shaped mold, filling it about two-thirds full.
8. Bake: Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the center springs back when touched gently.
9. Cool and Serve: Let the madeleines cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
