Madeleines are very small sponge cakes with a distinctive shell-like shape acquired from being baked in pans with shell-shaped depressions. ( source: Wikipedia ) . I should warn you these tea cakes are quite addictive and they disappear fast! They are delicious and so worth the effort and dipped in delicious @suncorefoods superfood glaze! That color
Make sure to rest the batter for at least two hours to get that traditional hump! And make sure to beat the sugar and eggs for good 8 mins! This recipe works beautifully every single time I bake these! Iām sure you are going to love these!Ā
