For an even more pronounced lemon flavor, try using lemon extract in addition to the zest. Make sure your butter is cooled but still liquid to ensure it incorporates evenly into the batter. Don't overmix the batter after adding the flour; gentle folding is key to a light and airy texture. For best results, chill the batter for at least 30 minutes before baking. This helps the madeleines develop their characteristic 'hump'.
