Experience the delicate charm of our Ginger Lemon Madeleines — tender, buttery cakes kissed with zesty lemon and the warm, aromatic spice of Maison Gabrielle’s ginger powder. Originating in the Lorraine region of France, madeleines have long been cherished for their petite, shell-like shape and light, airy crumb, evoking the elegance of French patisserie and the nostalgia of teatime rituals.

Each bite of these madeleines carries a perfect harmony of citrus brightness and gentle spice, offering a sophisticated, comforting treat that delights the senses. Perfect for elevating dessert, afternoon tea, or a quiet indulgent moment, they bring romance, warmth, and artisanal charm to any table.

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 cup (125g) all-purpose flour
• ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
• 2 large eggs
• ½ teaspoon Maison Gabrielle Ginger Powder
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
• Zest of 1 lemon
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• A pinch of fleur de sel (optional)
• Butter and flour for greasing the madeleine pan

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Butter and flour your madeleine pan well.
2. In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and sugar until pale and slightly thickened (about 3–4 minutes).
3. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, and Maison Gabrielle Ginger Powder. Mix gently.
4. In a separate bowl, sift the flour, baking powder, and fleur de sel.
5. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture until just combined—don’t overmix.
6. Slowly fold in the melted butter until smooth and fully incorporated.
7. Spoon the batter into the madeleine molds, filling each about ¾ full.
8. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are golden and the centers spring back lightly when touched.
9. Remove from oven and let cool in the pan for 2 minutes, then gently transfer to a cooling rack.
