Description

Madeleines are petite, shell-shaped French sponge cakes, distinguished by their characteristic “hump” and golden-brown hue. Crafted from a simple batter of flour, sugar, eggs, and butter, they boast a tender, moist crumb with a buttery flavor, often enhanced by lemon zest or vanilla. Their delicate texture and iconic shape, achieved by baking in specialized pans and chilling the batter, make them a classic accompaniment to tea or coffee, famously immortalized in Marcel Proust’s literary work.
