   In a bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. 03

4. 04
   Gently fold in the flour mixture, followed by the melted butter, lemon zest, thyme, and vanilla extract.
5. 05
   Spoon the batter into the prepared madeleine pan, filling each mold about three-quarters full.
6. 06
   Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the madeleines are golden and spring back when touched.
7. 07
   While the madeleines cool, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, honey, ground lavender, and lemon juice until smooth.
8. 08
   Once the madeleines are cool, dip each one into the glaze and let it set on a wire rack.
