Make a couple dozen lemon Madeleines to take to our Bible Study brunch
Must have a madeleine pan
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Resting Time: 30 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 24
Ingredients
¾ cup all-purpose flour (plus extra for coating pan)
1 teaspoon baking powder
pinch salt
2 large eggs
½ cup granulated sugar
Juice and zest of half a lemon
1/2 cup salted butter (melted) (plus extra for coating pan)
Confectioners’ sugar for sprinkling
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and coat a madeleine pan with butter then sprinkle each section with flour. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Set aside.
Using a stand or electric mixer, beat eggs and sugar until creamy. Add lemon juice and lemon zest and continue mixing.
Melt the butter and slowly mix into your wet ingredients until thoroughly combined.
Fold in dry ingredients just until combined. Cover the bowl with a dish towel and allow for the batter to rest for about 30 minutes.
Fill the molds of your madeleine pan about ¾ of the way and tap to ensure no air bubbles form.
Bake for about 8 to 10 minutes or until edges become golden brown.
Sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar before serving.

Bible verse, Devotional, prayers:::
What a lovely idea!!
Prayers
The President and his family, and the administration, for protection and godly counsel! In particular regarding our nation's security
Pray against all division in our nation, that harmony and peace will reign supreme throughout the land. Also, pray that the Justice system will work properly and investigate and convict those who need to be held accountable for their acts against our nation
For the God's will to work its way through our Congress to promote a healing and a functioning environment
Pray against delusion and lies of the enemy, protect the hearts and minds of the young, and especially the uniformed electorate!
Pray that pastors across the nation are renewed and re edified to preach the gospel using the whole counsel of God... Let no personal kingdom or agenda sidestep the work of the Spirit in the church!
Please, God, take back our institutions of higher learning
Pray for the sick that they might be healed
Pray for the peace and harmony of Jerusalem ...also pray God's favor over Bibi Netanyahu
Pray that the light of Christ will shine boldly through His people and everyone is establishing within their own hearts the manner in which to live for Him in 2019
Pray for our service men and women overseas who put their life on the line everyday to protect our freedoms. I lift up particularly my own sweet cousin Josh.... Please add in the comments other names you would like named here!!
Joshua in Middle East
Pray for the lost who are bewildered and lost... they are hopeless in need of a loving savior
