Preheat oven to 190°C and lightly butter and flour the madeleine molds, ensuring all crevices are well coated
In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs and caster sugar until pale and thick, approximately 5 minutes of whisking
Gently fold in the sifted flour and baking powder using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the mixture
Add melted butter, lemon zest, and lemon juice, folding gently until just combined and homogeneous
Spoon the batter into prepared madeleine molds, filling each cavity about three-quarters full
Bake for 12 to 14 minutes until the madeleines are golden brown and spring back when lightly touched
Remove from oven and immediately turn out onto a wire rack to cool for 5 minutes
Dust with powdered sugar while still warm and serve fresh with tea, coffee, or hot chocolate
