Meyer Lemon Madeleines with Rice Flour

IMAGE

These rice flour madeleines are perfect for using Meyer lemons. Grand Marnier is suggested for this recipe, but the use of liquor is optional and can be easily replaced with vanilla extract.

Tips:

  • Rice flour is a perfect ingredient for making sweets. Since it does not form lumps, you can mix rice flour with other ingredients without sifting it first.

  • All rice flour is naturally gluten-free. Make this dish completely gluten-free by using gluten-free substitutes for other ingredients as needed.
