Lemon Madeleines with Lavender Sugar
Delicate French madeleines infused with zesty lemon and finished with fragrant lavender sugar, a perfect teatime treat from your Thermomix.
These pillowy lemon madeleines are an elegant take on the classic French sponge. Light, buttery and gently infused with citrus, they’re taken up a notch with a dusting of homemade lavender sugar that adds a floral finish without being overpowering. Ideal for afternoon tea, pretty dessert platters, baby showers or gifting during the festive season.
Serve them with a cup of Earl Grey, a scoop of lemon sorbet, or pair with mascarpone and berries for a plated dessert. They also make a gorgeous addition to a high tea spread or a thoughtful edible gift.
