For a more intense lemon flavor, add an additional 1/2 teaspoon of lemon zest. Resting the batter is crucial for achieving the characteristic 'hump' on the madeleines. Be careful not to overbake the madeleines, as they can become dry. Madeleines are best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
