Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a madeleine mold with a bit of canola oil or nonstick cooking spray.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs and granulated sugar. Whisk vigorously for about 5 minutes until pale and thick.
Step 4
Stir in the vanilla extract and lemon zest into the egg mixture.
Step 5
Add in the low-fat yogurt and canola oil, and fold gently until just combined.
Step 6
Gradually fold in the flour mixture, ensuring not to overmix the batter.
Step 7
Fill each madeleine mold about three-quarters full with the batter.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the madeleines spring back when lightly touched.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let them cool in the mold for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar before serving.
