Method
- Heat the oven to 170°C fan/gas 5. Beat the eggs and sugar in a large mixing bowl for 5 minutes or until thick and moussey. Mix in the lemon zest.
- Sift the flour, cornflour and baking powder into a separate mixing bowl. Using a large metal spoon, gently fold into the egg mixture, then fold in 100g of the melted butter. Rest the batter for 15 minutes in the fridge.
- Brush the madeleine trays with the 20g melted butter, then set aside for a minute until the butter sets a little. Sprinkle each mould with a little flour, shake to coat, then remove any excess.
- Pipe or spoon roughly 2 tbsp madeleine batter into each mould. Bake for 10-12 minutes until puffed up, slightly peaked in the centre and golden (you may need to do this in batches).
- Cool in the tin(s) for 1 minute. Mix together the lemon drizzle ingredients until the sugar dissolves, then transfer the madeleines to a wire rack set over a tray and spoon over the drizzle while still warm. Leave to cool.
- For the strawberry drizzle, whizz the berries with the icing sugar in a processor/blender. Spoon over the madeleines, then sprinkle with crushed/chopped freeze-dried/fresh berries if you like.
