Classic French Madeleines

This recipe is for basic, vanilla madeleines. I think they’re usually flavored with things like lemon zest or other citrus flavors, floral flavors like rose water and lavender, and sometimes mini chocolate chips. The most common toppings are a simple glaze or a dusting of powdered sugar! I have this fun little dusting wand from oxo, so I went with powdered sugar here.

⅔ cup granulated sugar

3 large eggs

1 cup all purpose flour

½ tsp baking soda

½ cup butter, melted and cooled

1 tsp vanilla

1 tbsp lemon zest (optional)

powdered sugar for garnish
