Recipe FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
What are madeleines?<\/strong>

They are little sponge cakes or butter cakes that originate from France, considered a cross between cake and cookie. Madeleines are traditionally baked in a shell-shaped mold and have a light, spongy texture, making them the perfect light sweet treat. <\/p> <\/div>

What do madeleines taste like?<\/strong>

Madeleines are traditionally buttery, light, and flavored with vanilla and lemon. However, these tiny cakes are incredibly versatile, and as you can see from the recipes listed above, you can flavor them in many ways. <\/p> <\/div>

How do you make madeleines?<\/strong>

Madeleines use standard ingredients for most cakes and cookies - flour, baking powder, butter, eggs, sugar, and salt. Putting them together is quite simple (detailed recipes above). I also have plenty of vegan or eggless recipes in this collection. If you want the scalloped look, madeleine pans are easily available online. <\/p> <\/div>

How do you get the madeleine hump?<\/strong>

Chill the batter. The temperature difference between the cold batter and hot oven creates the signature hump, and the longer it chills, the bigger the hump. You can refrigerate the batter from 30 minutes up to 2 days.<\/p> <\/div>

How long do madeleines keep?<\/strong>

They keep well for 2-3 days at room temperature in an airtight container.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n
