I have always wanted to try Madeleine’s as I have read a lot about them. In case you don’t know what they are…they are delicious mini pillows of heaven…aka cake in shell shapes. The recipe below was taken from Crush Magazine and adapted from Tina Bester.
This recipe makes delicious soft and fluffy Madeleines with a hint of lemon. The only tip I have is make sure you grease the pans well so the Madeleines don’t stick. Otherwise, the recipe is easy and so yummy! It is a must for any treat or tea…I made them for my friend Candice’s baby shower.
