Hello my dear! A few days ago I baked my first Madeleines. Not because they are so complicated, no, it really is a breeze to bake these little delicacies. It took so long because I did not have Madeleine baking pan. Until now.
The Madeleine is a small French sponge cake that has the origins in Commercy and has the shape of a scallop shell.Writer Marcel Proust dedicates the pastry in his book "In Search of Lost Time" several pages. The taste of a Madeleine dipped in tea reminds the narrator of his childhood, becoming the catalyst of the whole works. (Source: wikipedia)
