Lemon madeleines are a cute French small cake, a real classic French recipe. Typically they have humps which form as they bake. This lemon vanilla madeleine recipe is easy to follow and they taste great.
Another reason I love to make madeleines is I can use my vintage madeleine tin. Just love it! This was a find on eBay.
I love making madeleines, they are so simple and yet so tasty. I like to stick to simple flavours, so vanilla and lemon madeleines are a favourite.
These lemon madeleines were as easy to make as fairy cakes, and very tasty. It really only takes five to ten minutes to prepare them, then they are also very quick to bake, so you can be enjoying them so soon!
