Whisk the vanilla seeds, sugar, and eggs until light and creamy. Add the lemon zest. Combine the flour and baking powder and add to the egg mixture. Gently fold in until smooth. Stir in the lukewarm, melted butter and let the batter rest for about 20 minutes. Spoon a tablespoon of batter into each Madleine mold (mini muffin molds also work). Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (fan oven) for about 12 minutes. Tip: I use silicone molds, as they prevent sticking.
