Classic French Madeleines with Lemon Zest

Preheat your oven to 375 deg F (190 deg C) and lightly grease a standard shell-shaped madeleine pan.

In a clean glass bowl, whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt until they hold soft, billowy peaks.

Carefully fold in the oat flour, honey, and fresh lemon zest using a rubber spatula to maintain the airiness of the batter.

Spoon the mixture into the prepared molds, filling each about three-quarters full.

Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers spring back when gently pressed.

Remove from the oven and let them sit in the pan for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool slightly.

Serve warm, enjoying the delicate, airy texture and bright citrus aromatics typical of a classic Parisian tea-time snack.
