Today I thought I would share one of my favourites French madeleines. These madeleines combine my favourite flavour combo lemon and blueberry. These make a delicious midweek treat and the perfect spring recipe. They’re light, super buttery and they’re bursting with fresh blueberries and zingy lemon flavour.
(Makes 24 Madeleines)
Ingredients –
3 large free-range eggs
130g caster sugar
200g unsalted butter, melted and cooled
200g self-raising flour (or the same of plain flour + 1 tsp baking powder)
60ml milk
Zest of 1 large unwaxed lemon
1 small punnet of fresh blueberries
Method:
1. Whisk the eggs and sugar until light and frothy. Then add the melted and cooled butter and whisk to fully incorporate.
2. Now add the flour, milk and the lemon zest. Mix until you have a really thick and smooth mixture. Then cover and place in the fridge for at least an hour or overnight to thicken.
3. When ready to bake, grease your Madeleine tin with a little butter if it’s not a non-stick tin.
4. Place about a tablespoon of the mixture into each of the shells, then press about 2-3 blueberries into each.
5. Bake for 5 minutes at 190 degrees C Fan, then turn the oven off for a minute- this is where the Madeleines get their signature peaks. Then after a minute, turn the oven back on and turn the temperature down to 160 degrees C Fan, cook for a further 5 minutes until lightly golden.
Allow to cool in the tins for a minute, then remove and finish cooling on a wire rack. Before serving dust with icing sugar.
Enjoy!

These are beautiful, Jess! They’re like little lemon blueberry muffins in a prettier shape–which will make me eat ten times more. What? Madeleines aren’t meant for breakfast? That’s the only time I eat them, paired with my morning coffee, lol! Thank you for the recipe.
These are so pretty! Perfect for spring Jess 🙂
Yum! Thanks for the recipe, lemon and blueberries are two of my favorite flavors 🙂
I’ve never baked madeleines, but OMG yours are really really tempting!
You know, I have a penchant for the blueberry and lemon combination too; in fact, I just made blueberry buttermilk pancakes this morning and added a tsp of lemon grind. I promise, out of this world; so your madeleines remind me of great moments and I just want to have a pair right now.
I know I will eventually 😉
Thanks for sharing, dear Jess…

Yum, these look delicious! Love the blueberry-lemon combo. I’ve never had Madeleines before…are the cakey?
I’ve actually never had a Madeleine! Is that crazy talk? They look light and buttery though (is that an oxymoron?) and there’s absolutely no way I can resist a recipe with lemon.
I love the lemon and blueberry combination! I recently got into the cranberry and orange combo too. Sweet and citrus is such a nice pairing 😀
Further proof that I need to invest in a Madeleine pan ASAP!
My favourite cookie cake! Love madeleines and like you I love putting a twist on the classic, though I think the classic is still my favourite. Blueberries and lemon is a wonderful combo and a great idea for madeleines. These look fabulous!
Love the twist in this recipe! I only had the classic madeleines. Adding blueberries in them is a fantastic idea.
