Madeleines with lemon zest- -3/12/10
I love Madeleines! When I am in a hurry and I have to bake something... I usually opted to bake Madeleines because they are very easy to make and it only takes about 1o to 15 minutes to bake in the oven. I usually bake them plain but this time I decided to add some lemon zest to the dough and they turned out to be delicious. The lemon zest added the extra unexpected flavor to the Madeleines.

You can either serve them plain or you can dust them with confectioner's sugar. It is basically just for the look, the additional confectioner's sugar on top does not change the taste of the Madeleines.
