Ingredients:

• 1 1/4 cup of flour
• 1/2 tsp of baking powder
• 1/2 tsp of baking soda
• 2 eggs
• 3/4 of confectioner's sugar

How to:

Mix the dry ingredients and set aside

In a large bowl, mix the eggs and the sugar until doubled in size
Slowly add the melted butter and beat until creamy



Add the fruit zest, the juice and poppy seeds folding it gently.



Fold in the dry mix (flour) and set aside for 10 min **we do that so the batter gets the spongy texture**



Grease the madeleine pan really well make sure to get all the edges.



Spoon the batter into the pan **you can wet your finger in cold water and smooth down the bater gently if you are the kind that likes perfection** :)



Bake for 10 to 15 min rotating the tray half way through.

Take the cookies out of the pan immediately after baking and let it rest on cookie racks for 10 min.

You may also sprinkle the cookies with powder sugar, drizzle it with chocolate, or dip it in lemon icing.
