    For the lemon icing
  • 30 cl lemon juice
  • 100g powdered sugar
  • 1 package of Bonne Maman madeleines
  • For the lemon curd
  • 80 cl lemon juice
  • 2 big eggs
  • 100g powdered sugar
  • 100g cornstarch
  • 100g butter
  • For the meringues
  • Protein from 2 eggs
  • 125g white sugar
  • 75 cl water

Steps

  1. Mix the powdered sugar with the lemon juice for the glaze and dip your madeleines in it. Place them on baking paper and bake for 5 minutes at 180 °C. Then let them cool so that the glaze can dry.
  2. For the lemon curd, pour the lemon juice into a saucepan and mix the eggs, powdered sugar, and cornstarch in a bowl. Heat the lemon juice and pour some of it over the egg and powdered sugar mixture. Return the mixture to the saucepan and whisk until it reaches a thick, creamy texture. Remove from the heat, add the butter, and stir until you have a smooth lemon curd.
  3. For the meringues, heat the sugar and water in a saucepan until the syrup thickens. Beat the egg whites and pour in the syrup in a thin stream. Continue beating until the meringue has cooled.
  4. To assemble, pipe the meringue onto your madeleines and briefly brown it with a blowtorch to color it. Then pipe the lemon curd on top and decorate with some lemon zest.
