Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6. Brush a madeleine tray with melted butter then add a little flour to coat, tapping out any excess.
Whisk together the eggs and sugar in a bowl until light and frothy. Gently whisk in the remaining ingredients. Leave to stand for at least 20 minutes before pouring into the prepared madeleine tray using a dessert spoon. Do not overfill the trays, only about 3/4 full.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the mixture has risen a little in the middle and is fully cooked through. Transfer the madeleines to a wire rack and leave for a few minutes to cool slightly.
Serve immediately and enjoy whilst warm.
Notes
These are best eaten within an hour of cooking.Feel free to change out the lemon for orange or blood orange when in season or mix the citrus flavours, just taking care not to add any more liquid than that equivalent to one lemon, approx 75ml.
