Wow, time flies! I didn't get to bake last weekend but I did do a few things this weekend. I have been wanting to do a recipe that I collected when I was in high school. We had one of those semester electives where we baked and cooked.

Madeleines were made famous by Proust who would remember his childhood when smelling madeleines.
Madeleines are recognizable by their ridges on one side and that little bump on the other side. My "bumps" were pretty mild compared to some pictures I've seen. I've read that a way to do this is to actually keep the batter in the fridge for a couple of hours, if not all night. Definitely something to try next time.

There are many recipes for madeleines and the textures vary. They are delicious with a good cup of coffee, tea or hot chocolate.
This recipe gives a very cake-like madeleine, reminiscent of the quatre-quart cake. Some people might find it too heavy, although the size should help with that.

    My name is Anne-Sophie and I've always enjoyed baking. I've decided to try and spend more time trying new recipes and would like to share the journey. I am particularly (but not exclusively) interested in French/Belgian recipes.
