Lemon poppy seed madeleines are the perfect Spring sweet treat. They are so light and lovely they are perfect with an afternoon tea or as a purse snack on the go. What made this recipe even easier was using T-Sugars Icing Mill when it was time to add powdered sugar. The T-Sugars icing mill is super simple to use and makes the process of dusting your treats with powdered sugar a breeze, a few taps and you have a perfecting snow coating over your desserts.
For this recipe I also used the T-Sugars Casonade for extra texture and depth. The end result are fluffy madeleines with a nice crumb and bright flavor. So easy to whip up and you can prepare the batter a day in advance as well. I hope this inspires you to get into the kitchen an bake up something sweet for Springtime.
